White Belt
Hello. I am new to MartialTalk and mostly here to read and ask better questions than I can answer yet. I train casually, a couple of evenings a week, and I keep getting the same correction: I think my stance is fine until someone films it from the side.
The habit that actually changed something for me was not watching full class videos. Those are too long and I skip the ugly parts. I clip twenty to thirty seconds of one drill, same angle every time, and I only watch the feet. Hands lie. The camera at waist height does not. After three weeks of that I finally saw why my lead foot keeps drifting out on the last repetition, when I am tired and still trying to look sharp.
I am not looking for a style argument. I am looking for how people here review their own movement without turning it into a performance. If you film yourself, do you watch the same day, or do you wait until the next morning when the ego is quieter? I watch the next morning. Same-day me always has an excuse.
For notes I sometimes turn a written drill order into a short clip so I can replay the sequence without scrolling a notebook in the changing room. I used text to video ai once for that, just to hear the order out loud. It does not replace a partner or a coach. It only stops me from inventing a fourth step that was never in the drill.
Anyway: glad to be here. I will stay in Beginners Corner and Meet & Greet until I have something specific enough to post elsewhere. If there is a thread already about filming yourself without turning class into content, point me at it.
