Teaching via video is doable, but I think it presents an interesting challenge. In any physical endeavor, at times, there needs to be some physical corrections made in order to emphasize a point. This is lost altogether with video instruction.
But, considering the alternative, it is better than nothing.

My sensei has been running Zoom classes for several weeks now. Taiso and kihon work out fine with limited space but I'd admit it would be more difficult if I were a junior student. Sensei is doing great given the limitations.
Payment isn't an issue...even if the classes weren't available I'd still be paying my dues. Want the dojo to be there when we eventually get to opening things up.
Will be interesting to see what bad habits I'll have to correct once we go back to regular classes. |

The bold type above is pretty much why I've not ever been a proponent of this teaching model. Doesn't mean that this teaching model isn't another means, just to many hiccups for all concerned.
Imho.

Given that there is no chance to train face to face, this is the next best thing. I'd bet that students have less bad habits with 3 months video instruction rather 3 months solo practice with no instruction.

I agree. You can at least spot something by sight, and offer verbal cues until something sticks.

I think it all comes down to this...do you participate in video training knowing you may need to fix stuff when you can get back to the dojo, or do you wing it yourself or not bother to train?
Once we can open things up I look forward to going back to the dojo...but for now I'm glad I have the opportunity to train with others even if the setup isn't the best.
FWIW my sensei worked with me last Thursday on a few moves in the kata I am currently working on. Even with the video restrictions he was able to pick up on a few things I was doing wrong and gave me some pointers. |
