broomhilda000 Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Should you train at home on throws and things? I usually do but you could develop bad habits so is it good to train at home or does it matter on which style you are taking? Or technique. Be as a tranquil pool of water in the woods. Calm, collected, reflecting on its surface all that is around it. Make your own mind such a quiet mirror reflecting the mind of the opponent. Even as your partner's impulse to attack passes through his mind it should be reflected in you.The safest battle is the one that is never fought
Seanbomber Posted June 25, 2003 Posted June 25, 2003 Well Gichin Funakoshi said, training doesnt end with the dojo, so yes train at your home if you are worried about messing up your technique then BE CAREFUL! Death Defying Training is ment to take you to the limit and the verge of death, and then next time to go over that limit. Keep training and i hope we get to spar sumtime!
granmasterchen Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 make sure that you got your technique down but yes, of course, train at home, the more you train the better you will be That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
Kirves Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 There are some good ideas for home training in Loren W. Christensen's book "Solo Training", but granted, it is easier to work on striking techniques than grappling techniques, unless you have a skilled partner and some kind of tatami-matress. Also check out "The Grappler's Toolbox" from Amerross.com. It supposedly has some exercises for a grappler.
monkeygirl Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 How can you practice throws at home? By throwing your friends around..? :confused: 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
Kirves Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 You can buy a wrestler's dummy doll. Or throw friends. And you can always go through the steps and moves even you're not throwing anything. And you can sit back, relax and use visualization methods. Granted, none of these beat the real thing, but may help in getting the finer details of the technique better into the muscle memory.
G95champ Posted June 26, 2003 Posted June 26, 2003 Who are you going to throw? No it don't hurt and yes you will change to fit your body is that a bad habbit? I don't know. As long as you try and keep it as close to what your being taught no big deal I would not think. Don't make home training a replacment for the dojo but as much as you train the better you will become. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
Jade_Lotus Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 I believe it is wise to practice diligently those things which you are taught. To Practice at home is good, and a necessity. Just practice that which you are taught. As G95champ said, the more you train the better. Understand this, a man without honor, is not a man at all, but a coward in disquise.Animis Opibusque Parati
Thuggish Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 much like weight lifting at home vs at a gym, when you actually go somewhere its like putting out a commitment- ive taken the time to drive to the gym, ima make sure to work out good; as opposed to i have a home gym, but look another episode of law and order is on.... also, in martial arts, unless you have another MAist around who knows what theyre doing, you might be making mistakes. but of course, the more practice you get, the better. but remember- practice doesnt make perfect. good practice makes perfect. a broken arm throws no punches
