You are right. There isnt any way you would learn successful budo taijutsu from a DVD course alone for a number of reasons: You would have no one telling you that you are doing it right or wrong, no one to train with as the majority of what we do is with others in pairs or against many (training with others is also important as different body types, sizes and flexibility affect what will work and what will not e.g. if a wrist lock is no working flow to whatever is most natural. This is somthing that your body must develop and learn and not your mind). Also think of this, would you become a profetional gymnast if your training concisted of watching an instuctional DVD and trying the moves yourself without help or guidance from anyone experienced in it, also if you start practicing somthing in a way that would be ineffective because you have no teacher you will start developing bad habbits which means when you start training you must unlearn things before you can truely start learning. Hope you find a dojo m8
