Fully support Mike’s views.

I think supporting people in the concepts and strategies of FMA online could be a very good proposition, but as Mike says only if it supplements physical training. I know some instructors who fly students in to offer Intensive Personal Training Programs, and then to continue the guidance and theory they support them with online training, password protected, for a fee. I think the combination of the two is a very good proposition Ray, and a good supplement to your income.

In terms of online training as a standalone? I do believe there are certain martial arts that can be supported, perhaps even taught to a good level, online. I have to be honest, if I made a list then FMA would probably be near the bottom. I am an advocate of the theory in FMA that technique without the reflex to use it is worthless. I guess you would need to consider that barrier in this proposal.
