ps1 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 The Drill Article thread that was recently posted got me thinking. Have any of you been/ trained in a school that did not believe drilling was effective. I ask because in my humble 22 years of training I have not encountered anyone in any martial art that does not value drills of some sort. My training experience is in the following martial arts:Shotokan (Kwanmuzendokai)Poekoelan (Dragon's Den)Sogo Bujitsu (Seishinkan, Renbukan, All-Japan Sogo Bujitu Assn.)Tae Kwon Do (Weirton Karate Schools)Aiki Jujitsu (United States Jujitsu Federation)Brazilian Jiujitsu (BJJ & Self Defense Academy, Pedro Sauer Affiliate)MMA (BJJ & Self Defense Academy, Pedro Sauer Affiliate)Anyone visit/train in a school that does not drill? If so, please list the school and your opinion of it.http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=28083This is the thread with a very good article about drilling.

parkerlineage Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Without drills, there is no practice. Without practice, there is no refinement. Without refinement, there is no technique. Without technique, how does one call what they do a martial art?Just my humble opinion.

alsey Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 every school i've been to or seen drills in some form or another. that's why i made the comment about the article being nothing new; everyone drills as far as i know. "Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you here. I agree with the article, but don't think it's earth shattering. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

jaymac Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I don't know how you can get better at skills without practicing drills. Hey that rhymed! A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
