Martial Arts and Practice - The Secret!

How do you get the most out of your training?
If you are going to spend time training, you are going to want to get the most out of your time.
One big secret is picking your training partner and/or being a great training partner.
If you train with a person who has no respect for you or your safety, who is just in it for themselves, then your training is going to suffer.
Start with learning how to be a good opponent. That does not mean going as hard as you can. It means communicating and paying attention. Going slow at first so your partner can learn how to respond. Safety first. If you are new, then ask your partner what he needs you to do. Learn how to be a good opponent and you will also learn how to be a good defender.
Your training partner is worth their weight in gold. So, find a good one and spend the time learning from each other. Ask questions. Don't surprise your partner with random applications. It always ends badly :)
Training with a partner that gets it will help you achieve your goals much faster than training with someone who dosen't get it. Stay away from them.
