You tend to pick them up fairly quickly, except for the foreign ones.

ill give some 1 a shout

yeah most of the time someone will give a quite detailed description of the technique.

I tend to try to link the name to pain involved in the technique this throw will coincide with really insane, death throw in my mind, along with the training attack and what to expect.
This usually takes about two to three sessions of the technique group (train a whole bunch of throws and have most linked after three).

On a more serious note - I was looking at how your boxing skills have come on at class today - looking good bud! :D

When I first started training I bought every book under the sun about the methods and descriptions in English and Japanese and then taught myself as per each move. I find it easier to learn the appropriate words whilst learning the new movement. For instance, like doing a whole kata. Just a suggestion. :)

[Cain]

For the first few weeks I had my katas written down on a piece of paper, along with the names of the kicks, in fact sometimes I used to take my book with me to class and ask m instructor to assist me in taking notes, but after sometime I began picking up new words really fast.

Time takes care of everything, my instructor used to say....the more time it take, the more u think, the more u progress, and the more it is better for u

its just an idea.
