What do you think about learning from book?

 

I know its not as good for learning but there is only Karate and Tae kwon do lessons in about 5miles of my home city. Are books OK for learning if you can't get to a real class?

 

Maybe I could get a Ninjitsu book to continue my training.

Great to see everyones happy, Im currently not at a dojo but will be soon (very soon).

 

I dont think a book would be a good way to learn its just to hard, its better to have a teacher to tell you if you are doing something wrong or not and the instructer can make a big impact on your training, its like parents if you have bad parents then the kid might come out bad just like the parents if you have good parents then you will come good(not always lol) anyway if there is no possiblility of getting a instructer then try getting those dvds that show the techniqes close up.

My girlfriend picked up a book on Wing Chun she saw in a sale for £1 because she thought I might be interested. She said the things I'd shown her made sense from the book but other things were not so clear. Once I'd had a look through myself I had to agree.

 

It's not that the book gets it wrong, it's just that without someone there to correct you you'll never be sure you've got it right. Imagine if you spent 2 years perfecting something from a book and then an instructor told you the thing you'd been perfecting was actually not quite there. You would probably have a harder time correcting yourself than you had learning it in the first place.

I am unbelievably happy. The man I train with has a wealth of experience and is very generous with his time and knowledge. He truly is an instructor that is continuing to learn, even after his 38+ years of experience. His formalities are really limited to bowing out of the dojo and wearing the gi (and the normal common courtesies you'd expect from anyone). That makes it easier for small group work in the middle of class and very open discussion. The advanced students are top-notch (unlike many dojo I've seen) and it makes it easier to discuss martial arts with real depth. My only regret is that it's two hours away, but that doesn't stop me from going 2-3 times a week.

[Kaminari]

I am happy. The classes are relatively small, which I like, it's inexpensive, and the people there are awesome.

[Lady Kitana]

Iam very happy at the school I am tranning at , the teachers are nice and the other students are very friendly and supportive.
