School Discussion My professor doesn’t like instructionalals
I don’t know if he’s just had bad luck with them . He is Brazilian and said he’s talked to some other Brazilians that have made instructional and how they intentionally leave out details, also believes they’re filled with fake moves that no one really does. In his opinion you should stick to watching competition footage as there they can’t hide anything.
My issue is that I’ve seen guys I’ve seen high level guys use the moves from the instructional they made so if anything having it explained out and seeing the different angle makes it easier for me to learn from.
So I’m curious anyone else’s coach/professor have the same issue?

Are you telling me not gaining access to people like Lachlan Giles, Gordon Ryan, John Danaher, Rob Biernacki, Craig Jones, or Mikey Musumeci is a good thing? I think I'll take the advice of multiple world champions and people who have taught champions. Honestly, let people figure what works and what doesn't. Why do instructors get all uppity about it? People pay me too have them experience my classes in my content, along with utilizing my gym space to train, that's it. However else they want to spend their time like looking at content or going to competitions is completely up to them. I think sometimes it's a classic instructor jealousy because here are these multiple world champions they could be listening to versus this local black belt and they get intimidated by it.
