Depends on the goal i would think.
I mean what if you need to teach a military group or a personal security firm in a short space of time?
I honestly believe its not *that* hard to teach someone something 'simple' and 'easy' to pick up and use strait away.
However i would be under no delusions that it would still be fairly basic skills.
On the other hand i find the notion of a whole art form being *easy* to be slightly preposturous. Its always been my experience that nothing truely good in life comes *easy*. Usualy its paid for in full if you catch my meaning.
So i guess the *intent* really depends on what your trying to get out of your training.
If what you want is to defend yourself in the shortest amount of time possible then why shouldnt you be allowed to seek *easy* answers?
Not everyone has the time or want to put in that much energy into something they only see as a means to an end.
On the flip side if someone seeks some kind of magical *pill* that makes them invincible then i doubt there heart is truely in the right place to begin with.
There are pleanty of mcdojos around to cater for types like this.
