Self Taught?

[BJJ Grappler]

Since there are no good striking schools in my area, is it ok to self teach striking? Most of it I get from books(JKD and Boxing) and testing it(like trial and error). Bad idea?

Did any of you do this?

As long as you have a friend to train with, its a great idea. You think Bruce Lee went to a dojo for every different art he studied? of course not! He read!

Yeah do have a friend to train with, a wrestler.

Did Grappler Baki ever grapple?

It may be a good idea to have someone who knows how to strike personally, instead of reading it from a book. Though a simple strike can probably be studied from a book, but with like everything, it'll probably produce poorer results.

ah yes.

Go away I'm talking to myself

TKD sucks you sad it your self, and the boxing I got from basially the books I read(a **** load!).
