Stop Chasing Techniques: Why Depth Creates Real Aikido Skill
Most Aikido students think that learning more techniques will make them better. But after nearly a decade training in Japan, I learned that real Aikido skill comes from going deeper into a few essential movements — not collecting more waza. In this post, I share stories from my training with Takeda Shihan and Yamaguchi Sensei, explain why repetition builds intuition and softness, and offer a 90-day depth challenge you can start right away to transform your timing, connection, and power.
