How To Learn Skills Faster (Get Outside Feedback)

If you're serious about getting better — at anything — there’s no substitute for in-person, hands-on learning.

You can read, watch, and study all you want at home. That’s valuable. But at some point, if you want real progress, you need to be in the room with someone better than you — someone who can see your mistakes, correct your form, and guide you through the process in real time.

That’s the power of seminars.

Seminars are the fast track to acquiring real skills. Whether it's strength training, martial arts, riding, or anything else, getting direct feedback from an expert compresses time. What might take you 6 months to figure out alone, you can often unlock in a single weekend with the right coach.

Mark Wildman walks the walk. He commits to attending at least two seminars every year. Most recently, he went to a motorcycle riding course to sharpen his skills both on and off-road. He’s done many of these before — but each time, a new teacher offers new insight, new perspectives, and new breakthroughs.

Here’s the truth:
It doesn’t matter what the seminar is. It could be a Wildman Athletica seminar. It could be a tactical training, a movement retreat, or even a knitting workshop.

What matters is that you're actively investing in the skills you want to acquire. Learning isn’t passive — it’s a practice.

Make the time. Go learn from someone better. Level up faster.
