Video training - 04/30/03 02:23 PM
I’ve always been interested in the Sword Arts and would love to learn the discipline. However, the closest place to learn from an instructor would most likely require a plane flight from where I live. In fact, if I wasn’t married with one more child to raise (the other three are older and have moved out … and back in … then out again … well you get the idea.) I would move to where I could learn, but as of now this is impossible.
Keeping in mind that I know little of the sword arts, Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc, but have extensive Martial Arts training, would it be possible to learn from a video? I question the lack of personal instruction in the Martial Arts … I know I needed it … but I was curious as to what some of you might think. The first thought that comes to my head is “its better than nothing” but I also question the development of bad habits that over time can be hard to break without close supervision.
Any ideas? Thank you. Your thoughts are appreciated.
