Learn Martial Arts at Home
To learn martial arts at home and improve your skills follow this established approach.
It occurs with many people that while learning at a school or academy they get a lot of theory without any practical lesson or a chance to practice their techniques on a heavy workout bag. Therefore, while choosing which martial art style to learn you should consider one which you could learn at your home on your own without the requirement of learning from such trainers who have absolutely no street fighting experience.
Now not only you will be able to do it but also will be able to apply your knowledge to get your skills to much higher levels. In order to learn martial arts you will have to invest in some equipment’s, which are: mouth and cup guards, 16 ounce fighting gloves, martial art helmet, and some sort of shield for your feet. These types of equipment’s will let you have the feel of a real attacker. It is really necessary to keep practicing the learned martial art moves in order to be able to defend yourself in a street fight.
Another thing which you also have to learn while learning martial arts is that to be mentally ready i.e. free of fear. Fighting is the best way to understand the type of stress you will encounter an actual street fight. You will get to know the feeling when you are hit on the face and how it feels when you constantly punched or kicked by your attacker. Moreover, you really have to know about the sensation that will occur when you are hit on the legs, arms, head, and chest. Once you pass through these mental tests you can start a slight unprotected fight so you get to know how to react when you get hit. And once you have mastered on how to learn martial arts at home you can go on the way on becoming a more skilled fighter.
No doubt by reading books, watching videos or taking classes you can learn at your home, but, unless you don’t fight you won’t learn the timings of making a strike and gaining control over your speed, increasing your range of motion as well as exert yourself so much that you lose your breath. All these things are major factors while you are in a real fighting situation.
