I work very hard to make my as worthwhile as possible for the buyers. That includes trying to get as much information as possible across but also in a format that gets the best results. I'm never entirely happy with the results but it's great to hear people appreciate the effort. The thing with Youtube seems to me is people not only see things in isolation, they don't seem to realize process and context even exist. that's understandable from people who're new to the arts but after a few years, you should know those things are important. Oh well... :-) Hope you're having a great holiday too. Over here's it's been nothing but family gatherings and too much (most excellent) food. :-) Thanks Garry.

You clearly communicate what you are doing while you are doing it, thus engaging the students with the material while it is being demonstrated i.e. making it real for them. I got your san shou videos and also like the way you structure the things that you teach so that students get the bio mechanical habits engrained before the techniques are presented. Tell them what you are going to teach them, teach them, remind them of what they've been taught. The problem with you tube and the internet in general is that the " viewer " only ever sees things in isolation and never gets a sense of the process which is involved in learning a new skill or method. People who turn up at martial arts classes with this mindset will give up quickly because it is a negative mindset and sets up a culture of failure in the person. These types of people will probably never learn because, in a perverse way, they wont let themselves. Anyway, I think you are doing a great job and recognise the value of a good teacher when I see one. I hope you and yours enjoy the holidays.
