Hasten the Learning Curve

You know the scene in The Matrix where Keanu Reeves gets his head hooked up to a computer and they download all kinds of fighting skills and knowledge etc into his brain?

I want to know how to use it, and know it well, but Jesus I wish there were a way to just download it into my brain without all the trial and error and boooooring letures.
