Can I teach my self to fight alone with heavy bag and some techniques form the internet. Like Kung-Fu...?

Question

I wnat to learn Krav Maga or a style of Kung-Fu can I teach myself?

Answer 1

you can do all those but when you join a tournament the loss of sparring with a real person will truly affect your perfromance

Answer 2

BOARDS DON'T HIT BACK

Answer 3

You can learn. But you cannot learn to use it effectively on the internet. You need a qualified instructor. Online, you will only learn the basics.

Answer 4

You  won't learn anything online .................... Fighting is so much more then punching and kicking ................

U already can do that without internet or punching bag............

One of the most important aspects of fighting is training ur mind  as well as ability to apply staff u learned on people ( neither of this is possible without someone else to train with  and i don't mean bag) .

INSTRUCTOR IS A MUST ............

Answer 5

You can condtion your self to be a better fighter. all a fighter really needs  is the basics if you build your self a solid foundation meaning(Punchs, Blonking and grappleing) kicking not so much unless your intrested in competion fight but mostly for practical self defense you can learn by yourself to be a good fighter sometimes its helps to have a friend sometimes practiceing with a friend like sparring and wrestling you learn what moves work for you becasue not all froms of combat work for all people but yes the heavy bag wil help alot just practice everday to keep sharp

good luck.

Answer 6

A onetime UFC champion, Evan Tanner, was mostly self-taught from videos.

Sure, a good coach is best, but if you can find an equally motivated partner, you can practice a lot of submissons, moves, and throws from books, videos, and websites.

Forget Krav Maga - just learn basic combatives, and you can be way ahead of the game.

Here is a great website with about all of the basic moves: (in three parts - copy and paste all three together)

Answer 7

Everything is possible, but you cant learn a style properly unless you have an isntructer of that style. Otherwise what would a style be without the style?

Answer 8

Can you teach yourself martial arts from books and videos? Yes.

Can you teach yourself correct and effective martial arts that will actually work for self defense? No way in h***. That should be commen sense. I mean can you learn to do open heart surgery succesfully by watching a video or reading a book?

You may be able to imitate the moves, but without feedback and correction from a good qualified instructor, who will teach you right and ground you in good fundimentals and basics, all you will be doing is punching air and if you ever have to use it to defend yourself, you will be in deep s***.

How can you think that you will be able to learn how to fight from watching DVD's and books, that cannot include many of the littlle things that are needed, and must be done correctly, in order to work? In order to learn a martial art correctly you need the following:

1) A good instructor who has knowledge of the techniques, and can give you feedback on what you are doing wrong.

2) Resisting opponents to train with that can help you learn to perform the moves correctly under pressure.

3) A school that will train realisticly, making you perform under some type of stress, so that when it really is needed on teh street you will not freeze.

So long story short, yes you can learn to imitate the moves on your own, and look cool, but do not in any way expect them to get you anything but hurt if you ever have to do them for self defense.

Hey I have an idea, lets train our soldiers via video and books. That would save a ton of money on housing and feeding. We could send them like DVD's. One for each week of basic training, including a rifle, ammo, and uniform. Then once they complete that, we can send them DVD's on there MOS(Military Occupational Specialty) such as "How to fly an Apache Helicoptor made easy". D*** we been doing things the wrong way all this time.

Now would you feel confident relying on soldiers who were trained this way? So what makes you think that martial arts would work when you really needed it if trained this way.

Answer 9

u can learn how to do them by watching videos and reading but its just not the same thing unless u have people to practice with or a instructor to tell you what ur doing wrong and how to fix it, after classes i go home , i run, lift weights, do pushups and situps and watch videos about muay thai, mma, and bjj, but i still go to class 4-5 times a week, all the other stuff just builds on what i learn

Answer 10

How good of a basketball player could you be if all you do is shoot hoops by yourself in your driveway?  How good of a baseball player can you be if all you do is hit off a tee?  How good of a football player could you be if all you do is throw a ball through a tire?

All athletes need coaches.  All martial artists need instructors.
