Making the Most of Martial Arts Home Study
by Sixto Lopez

I don’t mind taking one for the team when it’s only $1.95.  And take one for the team I did with this pamphlet.

Yes, “pamphlet” is the right word, despite it being called a “book”.  The PDF is only 36 pages long, but six pages are burned by the cover, copyright, legal disclaimer, and three pages for “notes” at the end.  It’s also set in a very large font with generous margins.  I copy-pasted the text into Microsoft Word, which reported that there are about 2,800 words.  This is really an 8- or 10-page pamphlet.

In fact, the whole book is nothing more than six “tips”.  These are hardly rocket science:

1. Find a program that fits you
2. Watch out for scams
3. Practice a lot
4. Find a partner
5. Use other resources
6. Don’t get discouraged

There’s more advice here on BBDL.  Indeed, I bought this thinking perhaps there would be some useful advice I could add here but the the content is completely obvious.
