    I learned most of my kettlebell routines from videos.
    I learned how to fix my drier from videos.
    I learned a nifty trick for my wife from a video.
    I learned how do a gogoplata from a video.

    Videos are great learning tools. People who say otherwise are elitist.

    For everything I was put through here for that video correspondence course I did in the late 90's, it is CLEARLY an established fact that you cannot learn anything from a video. Even if you are meeting with the teacher who did the video several times a year, you cannot learn a single darn thing at all.

    Case closed...NEXT!!

    I miss Dolph, his running around in a Hakata and hakama with a head band in Big trouble in Little China was hilarious !!
    Of course I have a special place for Dolph in my heart, for obvious reasons.
