I'll join in with Andrew on one of them. An uke who is not present is frankly a waste of time.
I also get incredibly bored with technique lacking substance. That's not what it sounds like. It's the continual practice of technique over and over without depth. Better one present sword cut than a 1000 non present cuts. I swear some people think that if they just do one more ikkyo they'll get it. Not that the other way gets it either but you get the idea.
Lastly, not a practice related one, but watching tests bores me. Virtually, every freakin' one of them have the same unimaginative answers to the same unimaginative questions. I liken them to interviewing on college campuses where every student gives the same snappy comeback to your prepared interview questions. Yawn!
I sense a new thread coming on.
