I have my own personal interpretation about this statement but just want to "throw" it out there to see what others think.

cheers,
Hmmm...the goal is self-improvement in as many ways as possible? Keiko involves the goal of throwing. As both uke and nage I've been told I should try to throw: as uke to provide nage with something to work with as well as to "shape" my ukemi properly; as nage to learn the essence of the waza/form we're working on.

Gambarimashyo!
