I had a student once (more than 20 years ago) who would learn from the book, and did them incorrectly. He was the type of student who “knew it all” (you know one of those) and would not listen or to correct what he thought he had learned incorrectly from the book. Try arguing against a “book”. It is all in the interpretations of the “beholder” in this case it was the student interpreting himself what he thought the book was portraying. In the end it was always difficult to argue against the book because the book does not talk back, just as Bruce Lee said in his movie “Enter the Dragon”, boards don’t hit back … too true.

These videos are the same. While they are a great learning tool, it is the student who interprets what the actions are. Similar to the book, it is always difficult to argue with the video.

Learn from it by all means, but the instructor will always be on hand to check your moves and skill levels and correct where required, and you will be right. Check your moves and understanding with the video. Use the video as your reference guide.
