Video suckas neva play me

I have been doing some research on the net and keep running into these Kung fu training videos. Can you really learn a martial art from a video? If so will it actually be effective when you try to use it? These people have to actually be making some money at it or there wouldn’t be such a vast supply of videos for sale out there. Also how could you tell if a teacher of a certain school didn’t learn from some video and now he is charging you X amount of dollars a month to learn what he did off a dime store video for pennies on the dollar?

Oh, you can certainly try. The results, though…

If videos are the most important part of your training, absolutely not.

First, just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s worthwhile. Also, they can be worthwhile additions to valid training with a real live instructor. But it is by no means a replacement.

I’d tell by noticing he wouldn’t be able to fight crap.

Please tell me he’s trolling…

< looks @ style field >

…never mind.

This has nothing to do with his style; the guy just has already proven to be a douche. Though I still wonder why I gave him the benefit of the doubt on this one.

I’m familiar with his ‘posting’, I was fucking with him before IIF blows this abortion of a thread strait to Trollshido.

Yes.

If you have no background you can’t.

Now, I’m going to tell Omega. You aren’t supposed to be shitting up the CMA forum until you can act right.

It was just a question I appreciate your answer I thought the same but was just wondering.

What may I ask did I do to you? Did not mean to upset anyone just have seen alot of Kung Fu how to vids on thew net and thought they were more than likely just after your money. So I posted a question on the kung fu forum to hear what serious MAist had to say about it. Thank you for sharing my same feelings and being honest instead of taking me on a troll roast.
