Fancy equipment is all well and good but it doesn't mean anything if you can't use it. That's what this thread is for, achieving everything from baseline competence to mastery of various skills and pieces of equipment.
Post training drills, how to start out, what to aim for, and when to move on to or add something more advanced.
Ask for advice or critique on certain skills.
Post advice on finding teachers who know what their doing and can help you improve, while avoiding those trying to sell bullshit.
If you can do so without doxing yourself, post actual in-person teachers or trainers you recommenced.
Post advice, rules, and guidelines for training others.
While the ideal is in person training with someone more skilled, it may not be feasible for everyone. If you have advice on training alone or with other inexperienced friends, give it.
