Martial Arts???

I want to learn how to do martial arts but I don%26#039;t want to take classes. I can%26#039;t seem to find any good dvd%26#039;s on it. Does anyone know where I can get one?|||Hey dude,





Most martial arts styles will have an instructional DVD that you can get, and don%26#039;t listen to these other people telling you what to do, they%26#039;re trying to put their priorities on to you. You don%26#039;t have to make martial arts your number one priority in life if you don%26#039;t want to, granted that you will become a much better practioner of you do... But who cares? It%26#039;s your life live it for you.





In fact I think that this might even be a better idea to start with, it might help you find a style that you like, try a bunch of different DVDs if you like. At the end of the day in a class you can%26#039;t ask your teacher to stop, rewind, pause, mute or come home with you, so get your DVDs and just do it man, many people will spend thousands on classes and not learn a thing, going to class doesn%26#039;t get you good, training does.|||why only martial arts?why dont you do an online brain surgery or rocket science course?you wont find a good dvd or online course because they dont exist.i suggest you get a brain get of your *** and put your hand in your pocket and pay to learn like everyone else, tightwad.you cant learn from a dvd or online course,there pure and simply about money,them making it and you giving it to them for nothing.how do you know if your doing it wrong?do you think the dvd can see you and say hey you thats wrong?like i said grow a brain.|||Go to MMA Drills, they have alot of information and training program on DVDS. www.mmadrills.com|||Pay for lessons %26amp; forget the Hummer. All they do is waste a lot of gas.|||If you want to pursue martial arts, I highly recommend making it a top priority. That would include taking the money you have for a gas guzzling hummer, and putting it towards an excellent school and just walking to work, and class. However, thats hardcore dedication right there, something you probably don%26#039;t have.





You can also learn some things from watching different training videos and real fights. Former UFC Champion Tito Ortiz started out just watching fights and then practicing what he saw in the videos. And look at how well he was throwing kicks at Chuck Liddel in his last fight! Kidding; he was throwing kicks like a little kid, and they were completely innefective. But seriously though, Tito is a former champion, but over the years he has done alot more than training with videos.|||you idiot the only way to learn martial arts is by training with a qualified instructor. but if you want to learn fast, take Hwar Do. you can become a black belt in two years. it is a combination martial art that unifies tea kwon do, karate, kung fu, kick boxing, akido, judo, and weapons. enjoy.|||You can%26#039;t really learn martial arts from DVD%26#039;s alone. If you don%26#039;t want to take classes, you shouldn%26#039;t bother trying to learn.|||You need a trainer for proper instruction. Proper training should not be very expensive. Never sign a contract and never pay for rank testing. A traditional school should be rather inexpensive.





Why are you saving up for a Hummer? Are you going to be going on an off road expedition? Do you know how much gas they use? Think more Earth friendly.|||yes at any dvd store thy all will seem the same?|||Sorry, let me explain the response you received. You are asking people who are very dedicated Martial Artists, who learned their Art through countless hours of expensive training in the studio, how you can do the same thing online for free.





Don%26#039;t you see how that can be taken as offensive?





It sounds like you are saying we are all stupid, because we couldn%26#039;t figure out how to do it for free.





Believe me, if it could be done any other way it would be. It can%26#039;t.





Probably the least expensive way to learn Martial Arts is at the YMCA. Sometimes they even offer scholarships for lower income people who qualify.|||You can%26#039;t learn properly from a video, you need an instructor and sparring partners to learn, if you really want to get serious about learning then forget about the hummer and take martial art classes, hummers are expensive to insure, and have poor gas mileage (gas is going up by the way), and are not cheap cars, so you have to think about a sacrifice.





p.s. don%26#039;t mind the mean assholes here, you are asking because you want to know about a subject, people%26#039;s opinions are irrelevant, as long as you get useful information you%26#039;ll be fine.





Good luck my friend!|||there is no cheap way 2 learn m8 ...it takes hard work and dedication , its a way of life to the ppl who can be bothered to try hard enough..... i recommend classes scrap the hummer, this is much more rewarding!|||You%26#039;ll need to practice (hundreds of times) and learn physical techniques as well as theological aspects of martial arts. A good book to start with is %26quot;Karate-Do: My Way of Life%26quot; by Gichin Funakoshi. It gives a background of martial arts and goes into the etiquette of being a karate student. As for the physical part, I don%26#039;t reccomend learning that from a book. If you can%26#039;t afford to take a class, a DVD is the next best thing. Choose something that%26#039;s instructive and goes into the hows, whys, and whens.
