Resources for Beginners

We all have to start somewhere, but "where" is often a challenge we all face. To help you, we have assembled a short list of starting points for you to review.

At the top is our own Martial Talk Reference Library. Containing a large number of links to "Frequently Asked Questions" pages, as well as health and fitness resources, it is an excellent starting point for research.

Was looking for some pics on handwrapping techniques and found this searching on here. Figured it would make sense to have in here since I suck at wrapping my hands yet and a lot of the people I know that are still pretty new are having the same problem.

Little picture walkthrough of one technique for wrapping your hands

Which links are broken, releana? Sometimes when a site shifts hosts or it's 'name' lapses the same thing can spring up elsewhere on the Net. A quick Google can often re-find the target of a link so it shouldn't be too hard to repair (if the sites still exist of course).

yes. Find TK Chiba's videos re Aikido and see how he trains kenshusei. Chiba sensei had his nidan in old judo from way back in the day. very useful training methods. that's a start.
