the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

have you taken them? how do you find them? I've taken some. So far, they've been pretty good for programming and other technology stuff. can be much more enjoyable than a book.

how about for sports / MA / body stuff? ever tried it? I watch a lot of how-to videos on youtube for some sports stuff, but obviously it's not "hands on" instruction.

It can be useful for handicrafts, art, music etc. Drawing and writing etc. But for body arts, dance, yoga, tai chi etc, I am a bit skeptic. We tend to believe that we move better than we actually do...

I've seen amateur movement groups doing really well with a mix of video and peer correction. For high performance I'd still recommend a live teacher, but video is amazing to pass on insights from coaches you wouldn't normally have access to.

Unfortunately I'm not at high level so I'm thinking I should use more video.

Just stumbled across Udemy.

I've use some sports videos that helped, but far less MA video (maybe the range of things is too great).
