i've never actually really benefitted much from training mode at all. The way I got past my worst wall, 11-12, was by just taking a break from the game for a few months *laughs*
I've also found that copying other players techniques only set me back. I improved a lot more when i stopped focusing on that and just played my own way. Well, it is good to try and look at other players styles and get ideas from them, but don't try and match their playstyle, try to integrate stuff into your own.
I dunno my best suggestion is to just play a lot :P It's a bullshit answer but it really is the only thing that really helps.
