Get somebody to show you, When I went to my training centre, the teacher showed us in such a way that was a lot better and quicker then any book will tell you (or at least it made more sense)

google the copper club and join up and they will give you more information and assistance than you will ever need

Agree with the above comments, get someone to show you and practice. Also the Copper Club has good info.

Have a read of this it may give you some pointers
