I remember reading something O'Sensei said once....though this is not a direct quote as I do not have the reading material in front of me.....
He said, "Do not try to exactly copy what I do. Take what you learn here and make it your own".
To me that means a technique can be done many ways. As was said earlier....some will work and some will not. But I have found that when I do a technique poorly it will never work...no matter how compliant Uke is!!
Also....Aikido would be very very boring if all Aikidoka the world over did each technique exactly the same way....
