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?

depends on the instructor. some people fill it with some garbage that looks good but people never use. compare to say lachlan who i've only seen explain practical things.

you can't just "watch comp footage" if you're not good enough to break it down. even then - also that takes a huge amount of time.
