There is No Perfect Technique. [Audio Essay]

The original There is No Perfect Technique article can be found here. It’s the air we breathe from our first day of school to our last day in the workforce and beyond… Repetition, repetition, repetition. Practice makes perfect. Perfect practice makes better. Everywhere we’re washed over with some form of messaging about how to learn that involves drudgery and drilling. But that repetition is not just to get it “into muscle memory.” The repetition is important because you need to get it right. …but is this really true? I tackle this universally pervasive concept on today’s episode. Want to upgrade your coaching?

Embodied Cognition and Martial Arts w/ Sony Sahota

Today I'm joined Sony Sahota, owner of Praxis Gym and a teacher of judo, wrestling, and jiu jitsu.In this episode, we discuss how Sony approaches training through the lens of embodied cognition, specifically enactivism. Sony recounts how it changed his entire approach to training, and then we move into a deep philosophical discussion about embodied cognition.One of my favorite parts of the discussion was when we discussed the role of agency and will within the embodied understanding. Sony is interesting because he used to make an income from BJJ Fanatics instructionals. After his philosophy of coaching changed, he put his principles first and no longer makes instructionals, instead focusing on his own mat and teaching in-person seminars from an embodied cognition angle.

Learning thru Play and Connected Coaching w/ Kabir Bath

Today I’m joined by BJJ black belt Kabir Bath. Kabir is one of the early success stories in the ecological jiu jitsu movement, and he has the distinction of a commercially successful gym, too—especially a large children’s program. In this episode, we explore the value and effectiveness of learning through play, as well as the vitalness of coaches connecting personally with their students, big and small. More About Kabir… Professor Kabir Bath began practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu in 2006 and discovered his passion for coaching soon after. Driven by a desire to help others exceed their personal expectations through jiu jitsu, he opened Kaboom Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Surrey, B.C. in 2012. As a dedicated coach and active competitor, Professor Kabir is committed to helping both adults and children achieve their goals, whether they are simply to stay fit and have fun, or to become a world champion. In 2018, Professor Kabir was awarded his black belt by Professor Rafael Lovato Jr. Where to Find Kabir...
