Hi All,
I got a video camera for christmas about 6 years ago and I just had an idea. I have set it up in the basement so that I can videotape my practice sessions and look at them later to see what needs improving. Does anybody have any experience with this, what it helps with and what it doesn't help with, what angles are best etc...
I am hoping that this will help me improve my form as well as my kicking. I have coordination issues which means figuring out where all my limbs are during a kick is pretty much impossible. If I can record my kicks and play them back I can see where everything is.
I has the idea tonight when I was practicing a jumping side kick for the next test (it is the board breaking kick I need to do). I was trying to work out how I can get more altitude (I am a ground pounder) and trying to figure out where everything was during the kick was impossible. I started thinking how I could do it and then I remembered the old video camera in the closet.
