Any detailed training/ exercise tips?
There are things you can practice. on your own, and things you can't. The first thing you should do is determine which those are.


In my case (I practice Aikido) - I can practice footwork, swordplay (Well, ok. bokkenplay, falls, stances, etc... on my own). Once you've got the pointers down, you can pretty much just go ahead and practice those things. That will give you an advance for class. Remember it's all connected. The better I know footwork, the less I have to think about it in practice and the more I get to concentrate on other aspects. Always strive for perfection.


Things I can't practice by myself are locks, holds, throws, etc... I can make the moves, but there's no way for me to know if what I'm doing is right.


If you practice a striking art, you could practice punches and kicks (Preferably on a punching bag) - As long as you keep in mind that does not replace a partner.


Footwork, stances, etc... can also be practiced on your own.
Reply:Well, that can vary greatly depending on the style you are learning. You are not limited to much at all, except Locks, Throws and breaks. You can go through the motions of them, but it is MUCH better to have someone whom you can do it on. But on your own, Shadow boxing, kicks drills, combination hand techniques, combination kicks, footwork. Mix up your techniques. And get used to throwing a lot of different things. Even if it is hard for you to do it, keep working on difficult combinations. For the more you throw, the less your opponent will be able to throw.


As for actual exercising....
