go ahead and take the Fundamentals class. There is soooo much more besides just finning techniques that is taught in a DIR-F class. They may even be able to shed some light on why the different kicks are hurting your back. It could be a simple as your using the wrong technique.
I would also encourage anybody else out there who is thinking about taking a DIR-F. Don't be so worried about training to take a DIR-F. Just go take the class with an open mind and don't be so worried about passing or failing. It's kind of like saying you would like to be a doctor some day. Are you going to go out and try and find someone to cut into, so you can practice being a doctor before you've actually taken the schooling?
Likewise, when taking a DIR-F you recieve instruction and training in the class, then you can go out and practice and train on the different things that you've learned during the class. But until you've taken the training, you don't know what to work on. Yes, the websites and videos out there are helpful, but they don't come close in explaining how it all fits together.
