Hey everyone,

Quick poll - who here has had video taken of themselves for training purposes?
How has it changed your training plan?

    i have and it's often a little painful to watch but super helpful to make corrections. my acrobatics teacher often uses this side by side app and records himself doing a movement and records us individually doing the same movement so we can see side by side us vs him - what we're doing incorrectly/what we can do to improve.
    i also find watching videos of others helps as well - for both inspiration and for things to try to avoid.

    The side by side idea is brilliant - definitely need to check into that!

    I try to record all my competition matches and it has been super helpful! I don’t ever really have a chance to record training matches.

    In our black belt class, we generally pull the camera out at least once a month, and any time on request. Observation and feedback is a huge component of that class.
