Can i learn a martial art at home?

Question

I don't really have the money to pay for tae kwon do anymore and i don't think my parents care enough to pay for it lol so is there anyway i can learn over some things over the internet or something? I'd really like to learn more tae kwon do or some other self defense, I suppose I just want something to stay in shape with and be able to use to protect myself, any ideas? I'm 16 if that matters lol

Answer 1

I am like the rest of them you do need a qualified instructor just to help you and let you know if your doing somthing wrong or not BUT i also know how it is when people run out of money so try this sight and stick to the first colum of ITF forms and it will keep you on the wright track untill you can get back into a good school. Just remember to watch everything as close as you can like placement of feet and hands and body posture. these guys are pretty good although its not exactly what I teach because Im Chung Do Kwan -ITF- but It will help  here is the site    http://www.natkd.com/tkd_forms.htm   this is only for forms not your one steps. you might want to buddy up with  black belt and get some help on those

Answer 2

The best thing you can do is keep practicing what you already know and keep working doing it better.  Then when you get some money and get back into TKD or whatever you choose, you will be in a good position to restart.

Save your money and don't buy any DVD's or try to look at a 2" YouTube screen to try to figure out some move.  Just get really, really good at your basics.

Answer 3

No, you need feedback from a qualified instructor, as well as an opponent to practice with.  

Answer 4

WTF is jezzi walking about?

you can learn from home but its realy hard. firstly getting motivated to actually train isnt as easy if you arnt going to classes and secondly you work out probably wont be as hard nor will you have someone picking up all your mistakes.

Answer 5

I would say to learn mixed martial arts and you can buy a dvd or a tape on it online or maybe at the video store like blockbuster.

Answer 6
