Anki is not real Japanese, it’s just repetition.
Repeating a lot will not take you anywhere, it’s an outdated method of studying… Or at least this is what some people use to say.
Let’s listen to a samurai’s voice in it, shall we?
In the dojo, we focus on reps in order to build confidence, muscle memory and rhythm in the student’s technique. We don’t have hours to spend; only a finite number of reps. My Sensei wrote an essay in the mid 80’s discussing this subject and he stated that you can say a martial technique is yours after you have done it approximately 10,000 times.
These are not my words they are Shane Fielder‘s. And he’s a really experienced modern times samurai.
