Another vote for 'NO' here - not in a thousand years

I know you can buy all sorts of training videos etc, but without anyone to correct you, you'll pick up so many bad habits that what you're doing will only remotely resemble a martial art at all.

Imagine you did find yourself in a violent confrontation one day... it would be like learning to drive from a book, and then taking your license test having never touched a steering wheel
