I agree h what you've said but, if you don't mind, I'd like to point something out about the quote above. My Aikido Sensei has the following point of view: you are always learning. On every technique there will be something that you can learn, something that you can go 'ah, so thats how its done'. Whats the point of studying any martial art if you take the attitude of 'I've done it, Ive graded doing it. I don't need to do it again'.
This is not to say that is what your suggesting, and I would like to apologise now if I've offended you. But I do know of some martial arts (Jujitsu being one) where you don't work on earlier techniques.
Which actually brings me to a question, for everyone here: do you have the option to work on previous grade techniques? And if you don't, would you want to?
