IMHO you need a qualified instructor to teach you the basics and to help you understand the concepts, strategies, tactis and principles. From there on videos and books might be a good notebook or a help to broaden your knowledge. To learn a martial art from books or videos? No! Could you learn swiming from it?

Yes. Many people do. People who can't swim, often go to the library, borrow a book on how to swim, then they go to the beach and try it out. Can you learn to swim without going to water? No. Can you learn it with the aid of a book, without a live instructor? Yes.

And then they tend to drown.
