Re: ?? Exaggeration in Aikido ??

One final point, just to endorse what a previous poster has said (forget which thread). An art that is based on the initial technique having to work perfectly may be interesting on an intellectual level for discussing how gods and ubermensch may fight, but as we are all human and prone to the odd mistake (even the "masters"), it doesn't hold much interst human beings learning how to fight. Thankfully Aikido is not such an art.
