Todai (students),
Master Level Instructor Muntu Isom
While nothing replaces in-person lessons, it can also be said that nothing beats the convenience of not needing to leave your house to get personal instructions. Live online lessons are offered via service Microsoft Teams Meet and is easy to access.
A common criticism of online solo training is that you don’t get the hands-on correction of a teacher. It is important to note that no matter who you are or where you find your teachers, you are still required to spend quite a bit of time practicing by yourself. Even during a live class, a teacher can only watch over and give corrections a small percentage of the time. (Unless you’re doing 1 on 1 private lessons.) So, you must learn to self-correct. What is correct form? There’s no such thing. Correctness is a matter of degrees, and it can always be more or less correct. Unlike in a live class, you’ll have to supply your own motivation.
You’ll need to watch the videos with a sharp and critical eye, and make sure you are doing everything exactly as instructed. We’re here to answer questions, but for the most part you’ll have to do your own troubleshooting.
Online solo training can be beneficial if you are self-aware of your own movements. If you are interested in receiving deeper insights into your martial arts training, online, live in person and want to start

You will learn both forms and applications and receive a certification in our lineage.
The key is to focus on one principle at a time. There are dozens if not hundreds of principles and energies that can be trained with your form. Which one are you working on today? For example, when practicing Bagua and Wing Chun, we always start with a few basic principles that they can train in the form. Basic energy connection & alignment are of paramount importance. So, the first thing students learn is how-to feel-good alignment and how to feel when the energy is connected and when it isn’t. Then students can now practice the form and the instant their alignment breaks they can self-correct.
This approach allows them to immediately audit themselves, identify the source of the problem by feel and fix it. By immediately correcting errors in advance proper neuro-muscular memory is developed. Once sufficient work is put into a skill progress can be noticed. These skills will gradually be ingrained into your body at a much higher level than it was before. Make sure that when a new skill is acquired that it is reinforced via repetition. The methods for checking energy connection & alignment are usually taught during the beginning phase of Bagua and Wing Chun. Over time a student will realize that these same principles and energies were always there in the forms. Only after many corrections and sustained effort to get it right will one see and feel real progress leading to correct application. I believe that a student can’t get his form correct until he understands the application and principle associated with that form or movement.
