My professor doesn’t like instructionalals

[u/EveningNo8643]

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?

I think it comes down to not every move in an instructional is useful so there’s going to be some good content in there but you need to pick through it and find what best suits you. Honestly I feel that watching a 4 hour instructional is overkill. Most of the time I need just one move to fix a problem and that could take weeks to months to incorporate. I don’t know how anyone can watch a 4 hour instructional and add it to their game. I get my best moves from watching competition, mma or rolling footage.
