You will learn more about what works and what doesn't work by fighting with them for an hour, than by watching anybody's video. I used to practice for hours with friends, one on one and in melee.
Although there is somewhat of a point here, the important thing to remember you can also reinforce some really bad habits by jumping into full-speed sparing too early without a good instructor. Not reading books, or watching videos about tomahawk fighting is just not taking advantage all that is available to give one an edge. Yes, Yes, the 'school of hard knocks' is important and the tomahawk definitely has some lessons to teach but not without some background and transition training. Remember that 'Dog Brothers' has a pretty good transition program for beginners. You need to see how things are done.
