AikiWeb Aikido Forums - View Single Post - Poll: Do you think private "one on one" lessons in aikido benefit the student more than regular group lessons?

I believe it is important to have group lesons because the bigger picture of Aikido is not the technique. When you practice with different uke, you can see what Aikido is truly about and see how it affects people differently. Hense the "do" part of Aikido, which means "the way", not "technique".

One on one lessons seem to me to be more about technique.
