Well, said. Many times beginners see Ikkyo, Nikyo, Iriminage and think that they are simple techniques. They want to get to more of the sexy "complicated" techniques like Jujinage, Koshinage. But, after practicing for awhile (like years maybe) they begin to realize that there is more depth in the basic "simple" techniques like Ikkyo and iriminage and start to frequently revisit them.
