This workbook is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to martial arts notation for beginners. We will cover the basics of notation, including the different types of symbols and codes, as well as how to use them to record movements and techniques. We will also provide exercises and drills to help you practice your notation skills.

Chapter 1: The Basics of Martial Arts Notation

The first step to learning martial arts notation is to understand the different types of symbols and codes that are used. These symbols and codes can be divided into two main categories: movement symbols and technique symbols.

Movement symbols represent the basic movements of the body, such as punches, kicks, and blocks. Technique symbols represent more complex techniques, such as throws, takedowns, and joint locks.

In addition to symbols, martial arts notation also uses a variety of codes to indicate the direction of movement, the speed of the movement, and the power of the movement.

Chapter 2: Recording Movements and Techniques

Once you understand the different types of symbols and codes, you can start to use them to record movements and techniques. To record a movement, simply write down the symbol or code for the movement. To record a technique, write down the symbols or codes for the individual movements that make up the technique.

For example, the following notation represents a basic punch:

P1

This notation indicates that the punch is a right-handed punch (P) that is thrown from the first position (1).

The following notation represents a more complex technique, a throw:

T1-2-3

This notation indicates that the throw is a shoulder throw (T) that is initiated from the first position (1),transitioned to the second position (2),and finished in the third position (3).

Chapter 3: Exercises and Drills

The best way to practice your martial arts notation skills is to complete exercises and drills. The following exercises will help you to improve your accuracy and speed:

• Symbol recognition drills: These drills will help you to identify the different symbols and codes used in martial arts notation.
• Movement recording drills: These drills will help you to practice recording basic movements using symbols and codes.
• Technique recording drills: These drills will help you to practice recording more complex techniques using symbols and codes.

Martial arts notation is a powerful tool that can help you to improve your understanding of martial arts, as well as your ability to teach and learn new techniques. By mastering the basics of martial arts notation, you can unlock a whole new world of knowledge and potential.
