Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Martial Arts Videos

1. Assess your martial arts training needs. Do you need a basic video on forms? Do you need help with sparring strategies? Self-defense? Select a video that matches the training goals you want to work on.

2. Ask school instructors and student peers for suggestions on videos that might help you develop as a martial artist. What videos have they watched? What would they suggest?

3. Check into the reputations of the video instructors. Are they qualified black belts in your style? Associated with the same national or international organization that your school is affiliated with?

4. Some suppliers offer a preview period for videos. After a reasonable period to view the video, you can decide whether or not the quality of the video is worth a purchase.

5. Ask the vendor if there is a trial period or money-back guarantee.
