You can really learn a lot from books and videos and anecdotal information on the Internet. BUT...this is after learning that all-important first roll, and having an idea of the body mechanics involved.
These other tools are great in the practice phases--after your instructor sends you home with your new roll, and you're working on making it more reliable.
: Generaly self-taught "Anything" will have success on a case by case
: basis. Ill tell you right now, a lot of books with incoherent
: illustrations - which i think has a lot to do with it. Poor illustrations
: and skimpy text has probably done a lot of harm.
'The Bombproof Roll, and Beyond' by Paul Dutky is a great text, but don't rely on it as a first-line teaching tool.
Good luck!
