Some things to know before practicing:

1 Do not try and hurt your partner (you need them)

2 Learn to tap (that means give up, something hurts, stop)

3 Before being throw, learn to fall (learn from a teacher or the DVD course)

4 Do not snap the arm in the wrong direction when applying a Straight Arm Bar (to your partner)

5 Practice on different size people. (attackers come in all shapes and sizes)

6 Practice slow until you have each technique memorized and mastered.

(practice at least 100 times each to use in real life, practice over 1,000 times to master)
