Dragon Warrior Posted December 1, 2001 Posted December 1, 2001 Does anyone know how I could train myself without having to go to a class? Are there any good books or movies that I can buy to learn how to take Tae Kwon Do, Wing Chun, Kickboxing, etc.? The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be ~ Bruce Lee
SaiFightsMS Posted December 2, 2001 Posted December 2, 2001 To be honest the basics do require some instruction. It is best to stop bad habits before they are too deeply ingrained. It may be possible to do a combination with a willing instructor. But the student should also be receptive to all input from the instructor. And both student and instructor should be aware of how things stand.
Joecooke007 Posted December 2, 2001 Posted December 2, 2001 I do not support this idea at all but if you really want to train without having to pay for and instructor go to http://www.wle.com it should have the video that you're looking for. Boards don't hit back. -Bruce Lee
username237 Posted December 13, 2001 Posted December 13, 2001 its always better to have a sensei with you at least then you have 1st hand experience of where you've gone wrong and what you need to improve etc
bustr Posted December 13, 2001 Posted December 13, 2001 I recommend Chris Clugston's material (https://www.trs-direct.com) for situational self-defense and John Malterer's stuff (https://www.kingdragon.net) for free fighting.
TKD_McGee Posted December 14, 2001 Posted December 14, 2001 I personally think training yourself is bullshit, go find a real instructor, not Mr. Tae Bo on your TV set. Do unto others, as they done to you.

pmh1nic Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 I don't think you can really develop the touch sensitivity required for some arts without training with a partner. Some aspects of certain arts require reacting to tactile stimulation. I don't know how you can develop that working alone or develop it properly without working with a knowledgable instructor.

Drunken Monkey Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 and you will need a good range of partners to develope good speed and reflexes. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
