So true!

I think one issue is that as newbies we look to our instructors for guidance, and many very experienced and very good aikido teachers aren't - and can't be expected to be - up to date on sports medicine research, "best practices" for warm ups, rehab issues, etc. So one instructor may be a great guide to overall very good body use and another not.
