How do you use new instructional resources?
Do you have a method?
I usually view the entire product 2 or 3 times straight through. Then, a review 2 or 3 more times, this time stopping occasionally and rewatching certain parts. Sometimes, I take notes and sometimes I don't. All the while, I add 2 or 3 selected new tactics to my training.
Depending on my training schedule at the time, I may review a certain part again if it relates to something I will be teaching.
I then put it on the shelf. Maybe a month or two later I'll watch the entire thing again. I always miss something.
If it's a bad resource, I'll give it a couple of viewings and take it as a loss. I rarely get bad products, for my research beforehand.
Bill, I'd really like to know your method. I know you have many resources.
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert!
I will watch the material all the way through one or two times and then I will get a fresh notebook and watch it again but this time taking detailed notes on each "technique" (if it is a technique oriented piece of material) that I want to incorporate into my "toolbox". I find taking the detailed notes gets the material "into my head" which is the first step in the learning process. If you can't get the material cerebrally then you won't be able to get it physically. From here I take it to the mat and begin the physical learning process, which by the way is much easier once you have thoroughly gotten it cerebrally. That's how I work it anyhow... ;D

Man , you guys do your homework.... I watch it then do it. Is that Ok:) Bill's right if you cant metally put it together. Then you can watch it a hundred times. I watch a video or read a book in one sitting and pick 3-4 things I think I can add to my game and then spend twice the time breaking down the smallest details ,(grips , hand placement ,hip movement, bla bla) and go try it. I often am suprised how quick you can add things to your game. My biggest thing I try to convey to my students is to buy instructional's that our at your skill set. If your a white belt you need to cover the basics , not go out and buy the latest x-gaurd sweeps . As Royler told a student of mine in a private lesson (he was a 4month white belt)Qoute: why should I teach you jiujitsu of 2006 when you dont have jiujitsu of 1995 . ..... NO hurry we all have the rest of our life .. seeya on the mat JW. www.graciestlouis.com

I have a pretty extensive library of training videos and DVDs. I have found that I learn more by watching the tape through, and then going back to the beginning and start mentally putting the techniques together in my mind. I will close my eyes and envision each step of the technique. After that, I go to the mats and try em out on one of my unlucky friends. After awhile, it isnt that hard to add new techniques once you understand the basic principles. Too many people insist that you can only learn from a live instructor, and that videos are a cheap shortcut to getting a Black Belt. I push myself, and work the techniques on people who are more experienced in the Martial Arts than I am, and if it works on them, then I think it will work on someone who has no prior training. (Or a TKD student (Sorry, just kidding....I think Be Safe! JWB
