Ya think?I'm feeling this guy is just trolling us and we're going in circles telling him the same thing. He just won't listen.
Maybe, or he has some serious anxiety issues and hypochondria that he needs to get worked on. Either way, it keeps me from getting too boredI'm feeling this guy is just trolling us and we're going in circles telling him the same thing. He just won't listen.
But you are wrong. This is a "friendly martial arts community". It even says it on the logo.Hypochondria? Why are you saying this? This isn't nice.
I'm just worried that I can't deal with the pressure of having to understand stuff during the class. I mean this is a very short window of opportunity
which you have to learn something. I am somebody who learns and understands things better when I have a lot of time and when I'm not under pressure.
What if I go there for 3h and during this time I wasn't able to gain more understanding? This would be very discouraging and then the pressure would be
higher as well next time.
For example if you're shown a technique in class and you can't repeat it yet then you also cannot practice it at home which means you can't do anything
in the meantime to get better and this is also discouraging.
Another example, if you suck at math and understand nothing in math class then you still have the chance to go over it at home and then understand it!
But you cannot do this with techniques can you? How shall you practice a technique at home if you cannot even repeat it yet? Then there's nothing to
practice!
This is the same as trying to memorize a song if you don't remember parts of the lyrics then you also cannot try to memorize them.
No this is not what I mean. Does nobody understand me?
I am talking about making progress.
Imagine you're a professional dancer and the instructor demonstrates a new coreography and
does all the moves in front of you and you watch him and can't memorize the stuff and he repeats
it a few times and you still cannot memorize it and then the class is over. And next time you pick
up where you left and couldn't practice anything in between.
But it still hurt my feelings.
Just one comment on this - you can't figure the amount of time for one technique, then multiply that by the number of techniques, for at least two reasons.How do you practice solo forms without partner or dummy? What forms do you mean?
I watched a video where the instructor demonstrated a lot of techniques first he showed them on a dummy and then he showed them against an attacker.
It provided a real good overview over different techniques but at the same time I thought this stuff all looks so complicated even mastering just 1 of these
many techniques probably takes months. Now imagine there are 50 of them then you can calculate how many years you need to learn them all. If every single
one of the techniques exists for a purpose then this means it's important and you can't just replace it with something else you already learned, right?
You will do it wrong; there's no avoiding that. You have to do it as best you can, and make successive adjustments until it's kinda good. About that time, someone gives you a black belt (which you once thought would mean you were done) and you realize you are actually starting to understand stuff a little. Even when your instructor is hovering over you, you're not doing it right at first. You can't, because your muscles (okay, technically your neural pathways) are following too many old habits.but how do you practice a form on your own without risking that you do it wrong and then train your body to do it in a wrong way so that you cant even correct it anymore?
for example i watched a docu about kung fu monks. these guys already knew what they are doing and still the master corrected them all the time showing them little things
which they did wrong. this shows that you always need somebody to watch and correct you.
As others have said, you have to start. For now, this is mental masturbation. You're asking questions out of fear that the training won't be sufficient. The reality is that the zero training you're doing now is entirely insufficient, and always will be.But how much can you learn in 3h per week? And the chief instructor also won't be standing right next to you all the time
and supervise everything cause there are many other people there.
My concern is simply that during the actual training I'm not able to really pick up much cause of being too nervous and then
during the week I can't do anything on my own.
I don't think that Bruce Lee for example only trained 3h per week. He probably trained every day with somebody.
I realize that this is a major criteria. I need something where you can do something at home. If you cannot do anything
at home at all then this would be too frustrating for me cause then I have no influence on my progress at all!
How do I find out which kind of MA allows you to practice stuff on your own?
I have looked into different places in my area which offer different things and what I didn't like is
that they usually offer 2 training sessions per week and each of them takes 1-1,5 hours. this really isn't very much especially when you really want to improve quickly.
at another place you only train ONCE per week for 3 hours straight.
what do you think about this? does this even make sense or is it a waste of time? i mean I'm not
getting into anything knowing that this is some half-assed stuff where I needed 5 years to get to a point
where I can use it.
i wish I knew somebody personally who knows some kind of MA or SD system and who could basically
train me 10 hours daily. imagine how MUCH quicker you would progress if you trained 10 hours daily
for weeks compared to 3 ridiculous hours per week!
after a few weeks you'd have made more progress than you'd make in 2 years training 3 hours per week.
and alone at home you can't really train anything can you? i mean it's not like they show you something
in class and then you can spend hours at home on your own perfectioning it right? this really sucks.

All else being equal, and assuming they are training reasonably well, yes. Though, as I quoted Shihan Bowe in another thread, "More isn't better. Better is better."My coach. And an indication of what you can do if you really want to.
Had to work. Still trained 6 days a week.
No teachers. Traveled to find them.
No club. Started one.

Pretty much the more you train the better you will get.

It is a quote that needs to be taken in context.
If you are training for 8 hours a day but you are a gumby and are not fixing that then yes.
If you are training well and then pushing past your levels of endurance at the cost of bein sloppy. I think you benefit from that.
It is something i have adopted with pad work after some coaching by a top striker.
So i blast the pads hard and fast. And look like crap by the end of the round.
But i am hitting harder faster and have more control in my exhausted state than i had when i was preserving myself for the sake of technique.
Same with sparring. I just get murdered in. My last rounds. But i am still progressing ability wise. I just look silly
Has the op actually been here since Tames upset him and hurt his feelings lol
