    Coach Firas Zahabi's Big Dumb Oopsie

    I didn’t watch the debate, but I know it sucked. What I found in the comments is embarrassing. Snort. A study lol. Why would scientists call a neurological phenomenon “muscle memory?” Doesn’t even pass the smell test. The article states that muscle memory is making muscles remember movements, but then Zahabi says it’s neurological. Sloppy, sophomoric, embarrassing, does not even merit reply, frankly. EDIT: I just noticed he calls it “muscle memory/motor learning”—this is idiotic at best and dishonest at worst. Of course motor learning is a empirical phenomenon; every conceivable theoretical camp in motor learning believes their own discipline of study exists. Greg is arguing for a view of motor learning. Why would he be arguing motor learning doesn’t exist? You can’t use the two interchangeably. Muscle memory is not motor learning. It doesn’t define motor learning, and it’s not a position inside motor learning except to people who have no idea what they’re talking about. This is a public episode.

    5 Ways to Start Eco Training if You're Not at an Eco Gym

    Interested in eco/CLA but stuck in a traditional school? Or maybe you’re frustrated with your progress, want to try something new, but are stuck inside a learning environment you don’t control. Either way, you still have some options. Of course, it’s optimal to run your own club or gym, but you can take ownership of your own learning journey and get started with CLA even if you don’t.

  7. Why the Practical Karate Movement isn't Improving Karate

    Why the Practical Karate Movement isn't Improving Karate

    My friend Daniel Marino made a critical observation about the karate community: “It’s about looking good, not learning how to fight.” Now, if you’re a part of the so-called “practical karate” or “practical bunkai” movement, you might think that you are exempt from this statement…but you’re not. Dan wasn’t just talking about the most traditional of the traditionalists. He was talking about the practical karate people, too. I haven’t addressed it specifically yet, but I have touched on the practical karate and taekwondo crowd from time to time… This is an audio essay version of an article I wrote last year: Bring your CLA coaching and ecological dynamics knowledge to the next level and upgrade to the premium combat learning newsletter.
