How to Become Proficient in the Martial Arts Through Performance Feedback

Performance feedback is a way to assess your progress and correct errors in your performance.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Notebooks
• Martial Arts Supplies
• Martial Arts Uniforms
• Martial Arts Videos
• Notebooks

1. Identify areas you want to target for performance feedback. Make realistic self-assessments on where you need to improve.

2. Ask the instructor to give you specific feedback while you execute a technique. Be gracious and show respect, regardless if you agree or not.

3. Practice simple techniques and stances in front of a wall mirror. Judge how well you perform against an ideal execution and then make adjustments.

4. Use a camcorder to videotape your performance during regular workouts or promotion testing. Write down areas to improve and create a practice plan with an instructor.

5. Consider private lessons to improve trouble spots. For example, if you have difficulty executing a spinning wheel kick, a private lesson may lead to some ideas on how to increase speed and power.

Tips & Warnings

• Seek out those who perform techniques with excellent execution. Ask how they achieved mastery of the techniques and adapt what works for you.
• If you have any condition that would impair or limit your ability to engage in physical activity, please consult a physician before attempting this activity.
