I was practicing some etudes for piano, when it occurred to me how similar many of the problems with practicing are for both musicians and martial artists. It's very easy to waste practice time with poor practice habits and training. Worse, we can even push ourselves backwards by training in the wrong way. It all ended up in this blog post:

What do you think? Is the way you train effective for learning Aikido, or are you just killing time in the dojo without getting any better?
