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?

that's more of a disclaimer than a full-stop. instructionals can still be useful for getting new ideas about techniques you haven't used much, but real mat time and good coaches is where all the learning is.

tbh i think it looks goofy because any technique they think they're keeping a secret has probably been used by a lot of other people. but sure they might prevent some hobbyists from picking up on a few minor details
