Learning martial arts DVDs and books - Guidelines for the use of training resources

We live in a great moment, especially when there are "informationaholics. The dissemination of knowledge and its' accessibility has increased exponentially with increasing disposable incomes, travel facilitation, development of the Internet and the dismantling of the old establishment, the style of the publication by the very conservative society. This has led to an explosion of creative thinking, innovation and sharing knowledge not only in martial arts, but learning in all areasknowledge.

As a veteran martial artist, I experienced a change of only a limited number of systems that experience, almost all Japanese Karate and Judo by now, when we are not fighting only have access to the systems of martial arts from around the world, but also the development of completely new approaches, such as Reality Based Self Defense Systems, and mixed martial arts phenomenon. And if we're talking about if it is entirely new orOriginals are certainly quite new in the way they have developed and have become highly developed mixed martial arts fighting and self defense systems, which have made progress.

As mentioned, there is now also an incredible change in our ability to produce and publish, even our thoughts and knowledge. In the field of martial arts this has to a large number of DVDs, books and videos available on-line sources for learning martial arts in a rowall disciplines of martial arts.

In response to this increase inveterate martial artists of the old school still often heard that you can not learn martial artsfrom books and DVDs. In my experience, this opinion is too old school and non-conformist attitude and not taking into account the quality of the material that is available. He also proposes a vision of traditional protection that the history of innovation and progress in all areas has stifled thehuman knowledge.

However, I am learning that not of DVDs and books in place of a good school and coaches, it is a good way to complement and complete your workout, especially if you work in the modern, progressive forms of martial arts , self-defense and competitive fighting systems.

As a longtime martial artist from the old school and as an academic I am of the opinion that offer DVDs and booksfantastic resource for learning the skills of all kinds. My life as a scientist at the forefront of the discipline of molecular biology, it is necessary that I learn and develop new skills and knowledge from various sources, including DVDs, books, seminars and documents that were in many instances open to interpretation and requiring a high degree of reworking to make them viable.

But to use these resources effectively for the training of martial arts, or for that matter, to learnall the skills we need to apply and take part in a series of guidelines:

1) It is strongly recommended that basic training has been submitted, were the basic principles, techniques and concepts to learn each discipline.
2) When training in a martial art, with a partner, a training program on a regular basis with a serious partner for training that has the same attitude towards training - require that learning.
3) When you look at theDVD or read the book to get good grades, and looked carefully at the details of the technique.
4) Endeavor to an understanding of the principles and basic concepts of technology and its' execution.
5) the learning of a movement or technique at a time.
6) train and the technique of drilling works slowly on developing its performance.
7) If possible, obtain an experienced therapist or trainer to observe, improve or correct the technique.
8) After a period of trainingTechnology go to DVD or book and see it again, or read the details of the technology, as we often see a second time and after practicing the art for a while '.
9) When you try to learn new techniques, which have already acquired the knowledge and techniques of track and moving in contact with, from one to another.
10) If the technology does not work, or design feels heavy, return the DVD or book and see if you can find out what it is, iswrong.
11) to be aware that some material or is badly taught, or leaves out many important details, intentionally or unintentionally, in some cases, as the person who does not know of course materials, as is done, are doing.
