Save Years In Martial Arts Training Frustration
It’s important to have good basic martial arts training model to follow to help develop your skills in a clear, concise, progressive and structured manner. Here we cover one of the best models I have found which is Introduction, Isolation, and Integration.
Introduction
You learn the technique or drill, give yourself a chance to go through it at a slow speed, to focus on the key points. This should take a minimal amount of time, a few minutes. E.g. you learn a new kick face a mirror and practice it, focusing on the key point.
Isolation
This is where you isolate a specific technique or area, and you practice with a partner who is moving, providing a level of resistance and not working in a rhythm. EG – one person feeds a particular attack at a slower speed and then other person just works the block learnt in the introduction phase. This helps you develop all the attributes required to make the technique work, moving naturally but at a slower pace.
Integration
This is the next level where you put together a series of martial arts skills to work on simultaneously, building up to the goal of unconscious competence, in other words doing it naturally without thought. EG – one person feeds several different attacks to different areas and the other person works several different blocks.
The key points are to move quickly in your martial arts home study making the martial arts skill work without spending too much time just practicing the technique, remember techniques do not work it’s the attributes that you train that make the technique work such as timing, distance, speed, power and accuracy.
If you learn martial arts online through this tip you will aim to get the balance right of working on just one skill to master it before adding a new skill too soon, aim to work a skill for a couple of weeks before adding other skills.
