Do you guys make notes and diagrams for your martial arts and have reference books?I have been thinking about getting the Kodokan book since I won't be doing judo for the foreseeable future and also making notes for my karate and judo.
Nah It's a rookie mistake to try and turn a physical activity into an academic one This in the literature is exactly what causes people to choke, They spend too much time thinking about what to do and not enough time just doing it reflexively You can't summon skill through a cognitive process, you have to just move and let your nervous system go on autopilotYou can't think faster than your senses
>>261823Just watch footage. You can find videos on any particular fight/technique/martial art, helps a lot with development and applying skills. Plus I feel like visuals work much better then a book or something.
>>261831>>261872Fair points. Though do you ever keep diagrams for reference or have a playlist of videos? I tend to save videos and rewatch ones that I feel I need more practice on and mimic what I see. For diagrams I pretty much just use for kata
