Quite True. It shouldn't matter if you train for
spiritual development or
survival. You should try to train completely and be prepared for all possibilities.

All i am saying is practice realisim in your dojo.O ut of all the the hundreds of possible throws and locks in aikido every one will only use maybe 5 or 6 of them with different applications because they are the ones that work for them in most situations even though they have the skill to do them all they will always revert back to those 5 or 6 when in harms way.

That reminds me of a problem Judo had. Some of its tournament players only knew 2 or 3 techniques. They used and practiced them rigourously for tournaments. In fact, you could say that they gave up the study of Judo to win tournaments.
There are a lot of
impractical things in Aikido. However, like finger exercises in piano playing, they can help you develop.
Aikido is a martial art, therefore it could be
more than a group of techniques. But, that doesn't mean you can't develop your own short list of
favorite techniques.
