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.It's the best way to support the show, and you'll get access to exclusive articles and recordings on how to practically apply the science of skill acquisition to martial arts training.Right now, I'm taking Rob Gray's How We Learn to Move and applying it to martial arts practice design, chapter by chapter.Other premium articles include:- How to Manipulate Constraints to Build Deep Skill- How the Fundamentals Emerge on their Own- and Representative Learning Design for Martial Arts TrainingAll that and more is available to you when you upgrade to the premium combat learning subscription.

Positional sparring is consistent with the constraints-led approach (CLA) to coaching—and by extension, scalable live training (SLT)—but positional sparring tends to have a less flexible scope of practice.So whereas all positional sparring can be CLA, the CLA is not simply positional sparring: it can be much more or much less, depending on the necessary scale.Bring your CLA coaching and ecological dynamics knowledge to the next level and upgrade to the premium combat learning newsletter.It's the best way to support the show, and you'll get access to exclusive articles and recordings on how to practically apply the science of skill acquisition to martial arts training.Right now, I'm taking Rob Gray's How We Learn to Move and applying it to martial arts practice design, chapter by chapter.Other premium articles include:- How to Manipulate Constraints to Build Deep Skill- How the Fundamentals Emerge on their Own- and Representative Learning Design for Martial Arts TrainingAll that and more is available to you when you upgrade to the premium combat learning subscription.

Recorded live at a SAND Community Gathering (December 2024) hosted by Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo. In this intimate conversation with poet and philosopher David Whyte and his wife, cultural architect Gayle Karen Young, explore the tender territories of grief, belonging and rest. Drawing from David's new book Consolations II, this unique dialogue offers a glimpse into how two lives intertwine in both understanding and living these essential human experiences and how loss and heartbreak can become doorways to deeper belonging. The conversation weaves together poetry, contemplative wisdom, and the authentic experience of two people who have walked the path of partnership through its many thresholds. It offers both practical insight and spiritual nourishment for anyone seeking to understand how we grow through love's many faces—from its first tender beginnings to its most profound depths of kinship. David Whyte, raised between his Irish mother's imaginative influence and his father's Yorkshire landscapes, now calls the Pacific Northwest home. He is the author of twelve books of poetry and five books of prose, holding a degree in Marine Zoology and bringing rich experience from his years as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos Islands and leader of expeditions in the Andes, Amazon, and Himalaya. Gayle Karen Young is a cultural architect and catalyst for human and organizational development who believes the world needs leaders who are “able for” what lies ahead. With over two decades in leadership development, she focuses on both the visible, practical aspects of leadership and the invisible work of creating spaces where others can thrive.

What if we started seeing grief as a form of trauma—could it help us make sense of the confusing ways our mind and body react to loss? In this conversation, Debbie sits down with Meghan Riordan Jarvis, a psychotherapist who's spent her life helping people navigate the heartbreak of loss. She's here to talk about her new book, Can Anyone Tell Me? Essential Questions About Grief and Loss, and to share her personal and research-based wisdom on this tender subject. We look into the messy, complicated emotions that grief can bring—like anger, guilt, regret, and anxiety—and Megan offers simple, meaningful ways to cope. We also tackle the bigger picture: why we need more honest conversations about death and how we can show up better for each other in times of loss. We hope you'll join us for this meaningful conversation that might just give you a little clarity, hope, and comfort wherever you, or even the loved ones you are supporting, are on your grief journey.  Listen and Learn:  Why grief education is key to feeling less alone, less afraid, and truly understood How we can reconnect in the face of profound loss Loss, grief, and mourning: uncovering the nuanced definitions and how they shape our healing journeys How Meghan's two very contrasting losses shaped her approach to grief and healing The varying emotions of grief and why anger and anxiety might be more common than expected The shifting waves of loss, unexpected triggers, and lasting connections The idea of signs from loved ones Could the signs we receive from loved ones beyond death be more than just coincidence?

Everyone agrees that the fundamentals are the essence of martial arts skill, but nobody can agree on what they are exactly.In this article, I outline and briefly comment on five different conceptions of martial arts fundamentals.* Fundamentals as Basic Techniques* Fundamentals as Principles of Play* Fundamentals as Basics + Principles* Fundamentals within Functional Movement Skills* as Regulatory Conditions* as Necessary Strategic AttributesOverall, I want to document the landscape on fundamentals so we can have clearer, more productive discussions about it.Want to upgrade your coaching or training?Bring your CLA coaching and ecological dynamics knowledge to the next level and upgrade to the premium combat learning newsletter.It's the best way to support the show, and you'll get access to exclusive articles and recordings on how to practically apply the science of skill acquisition to martial arts training.Right now, I'm taking Rob Gray's How We Learn to Move and applying it to martial arts practice design, chapter by chapter.Other premium articles include:- How to Manipulate Constraints to Build Deep Skill- How the Fundamentals Emerge on their Own- and Representative Learning Design for Martial Arts TrainingAll that and more is available to you when you upgrade to the premium combat learning subscription.

Information processing and ecological dynamics are both theories of perception and learning. They explain your relationship to the environment and how that affects your internal states and vice versa. As such, they inform training methodologies, but they are not methodologies in themselves.Or, put another way, they have clear implications for how you should train, but as theories of perception and learning, they do not constitute organized systems of how to do training.To bridge the gap between theory and practice, developing literature-based methodologies is necessary.Want to upgrade your coaching or training?Bring your CLA coaching and ecological dynamics knowledge to the next level and upgrade to the premium combat learning newsletter.

Welcome to another episode of Refuse Ordinary: Season 3! This season we're joining in on one of the many classes taught to level 1-4 of the full time School of Transformation.   In this episode, we will be sitting in on a class called "How We Learn", taught by Ryan Kelly. This class is all about the importance of asking questions, and how to ask questions that will help you grow and learn. It discusses ways that Jesus used questions in His teachings, as well as how the disciples used questions to learn from Him. We need to look at what keeps us from asking questions in order to move forward in growth and maturity.   If you have any questions about this topic, or about the School of Transformation, don't hesitate to email us at info@transformationschool.org

This is an audio version of a previous combat learning article, Tao of Aliveness.Bruce Lee superfans have to pretend about his fighting prowess because, to them, that's what makes him legendary. It bolsters the legitimacy and mystique of his jeet kune do system. Jeet kune do, as Lee taught it, is the chief artifact of his legacy in the eyes of martial artists who can only see formal systems and styles.The philosophy stuff is cool to them, sure, but their social conditioning prevents them from appreciating just how legendary this aspect of his legacy truly is.Among all his ideas, one would come to influence real martial arts practice in a massive way: aliveness.Want to upgrade your coaching?Bring your CLA coaching and ecological dynamics knowledge to the next level and upgrade to the premium combat learning newsletter.

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?If you want to bring your CLA coaching and ecological dynamics knowledge to the next level, upgrade to the premium combat learning newsletter.

Welcome to Episode #35 of the Trainers Bullpen, the final edition in our ‘'How We Learn to Move” series with Dr. Rob Gray Rob Gray is a psychology professor and research psychologist with a focus on perceptual-motor control in driving, aviation, and sports. He also hosts the Perception & Action Podcast, is the author of two bestselling books on the acquisition of movement skills ‘How We Learn To Move' and ‘Learning to Optimize Movement', and he serves as the Skill Acquisition Specialist for the Boston Red Sox. In this interview, Dr. Gray discusses the key aspects from chapters 7 and 8 of How We Learn to Move. Rob provides insights on how coaches and trainers can consider the Constraints Led Approach of a new way forward in facilitating the development of adaptability and decision making in our officers. Further, Rob discusses the importance of understanding the kinetic chain and how that relates to the manner in which we set up movement drills and also how the conditions of the original learning environment are so important for creating resilience and ‘stickiness' of our performer's skills. Additional topics covered in this interview are the importance of destabilization, self-exploration and self-organization, how to amplify information in order to invite affordances for action, structured variability as a critical aspect for motor learning and the critical need for ‘perturbances' during learning – which is a concept pretty much completely at odds with current law enforcement training. This interview contains practical insights on how trainers should understand and apply aspects of the Constraints Led Approach to help our officers develop the critical cognitive and physical skills they need on the street!

Adam Singer joins us again to discuss how he balances safety and productivity using the constrains-led approach to teach 100% live sparring classes from the ground up, beginner to advanced.Remember to sign up for the FREE Combat Learning Newsletter.

He also hosts the Perception & Action Podcast, is the author of two bestselling books on the acquisition of movement skills ‘How We Learn To Move' and ‘Learning to Optimize Movement', and he serves as the Skill Acquisition Specialist for the Boston Red Sox. In this interview, Dr. Gray discusses the key aspects from chapters 5 and 6 of How We Learn to Move. Rob provides insights on how coaches and trainers can embrace a motor learning environment that is a nonlinear, self-organizational model of movement. Also mentioned is how the perception of the world is embodied and how affordances shape the way we perceive opportunities for action. Dr. Gray introduces the important concept of ‘invariance' and why it matters in performance and coaching. Additional topics covered in this interview are embodied perception, Gibson's Affordances and his theory in conflict with traditionalist views, body & action capacity scaling, the importance of variability, intrinsic dynamics and how they relate to movement variability, and how the ‘law of attraction' relates to movement variability and invariance. This interview contains practical insights on how trainers should embrace the ecological, nonlinear, self-organizational model of instruction, modify constraints to cause learners to self-organize movements, and understand the application of affordances and the laws of attraction to design effective training environments.

Mary-Frances O'Connor is a neuroscientist at the University of Arizona where she studies the impact of grief on the brain. Her work helps explain things like why we still expect our dead loved one to walk into the living room and why grief can feel so disorienting. As Mary-Frances explains, grief is a hormonal event, and understanding how it shows up in our brains can help us make sense of our own grief experience. In this episode, we cover how grief is really the brain learning to imagine a life with the absence of a loved one. Our brains know how to grieve. In fact, resilience is the most typical brain pattern of grieving.You can learn more about Mary-Frances' work and find her book, “The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss,” at https://maryfrancesoconnor.org/This podcast is produced by Larj Media.

We are delighted to have the great Koreen Pagano join the podcast for the furthering conversation on skills. We get Koreen's perspective and definition of skills.  Matt alludes to the earlier LDA Podcast, The “What the Skills” Episode with Paul Kirschner, as well as the research work he did with John Sweller and Richard Clark published in their article: Kirschner, P.A., Sweller, J., & Clark, R.E. (2006). Why minimal guidance during instruction does not work: An analysis of the failure of constructivist discovery, problem-based, experiential, and inquiry-based teaching. Educational Psychologist. 41(2), 75-86. In the episode, we dig into whether one can teach, and how one can teach, conflict resolution, critical thinking, and even tease the subject of teaching leadership. The debate really gets playfully heated when they talk about critical thinking. Clark uses the famous phrase, “yes… and…” Matt references the great improv in business practitioner, Kat Koppett. Her first book, Training to Imagine is a great source to go into yes, anding… in more depth. Matt references evolutionary skills and brings up the references from Sweller: Sweller, J. (2016). Cognitive Load Theory: What We Learn and How We Learn. In M. Spector, B. Lockee, & M. Childress (Eds.), Learning, design, and technology (pp. 1–28). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-17727-4_50-1 And Geary Geary, D. C. (2008). An evolutionarily informed education science. Educational Psychologist, 43(4), 179–195. https://doi.org/10.1080/00461520802392133 We discuss what it means to master skills, and develop automation. We also explore how to assess whether a person has a skill or the potential to develop a skill. We debate transferability and whether skills— especially complex skills need be taught within a contextual domain. Matt argues yes. Koreen argues no. Clark argues “It depends.” They also debate whether, and how much, talent plays into skill development. Heck… is talent even a thing? The big argument centers around Carnegie Hall and playing golf! And of course, Anders Ericsson is a part of the conversation. Ericsson, K. A., & Charness, N. (1994). Expert performance: Its structure and acquisition. American Psychologist, 49: 725–747. Matt referenced the Human Development expert, Richard Lerner. Koreen references the hostage negotiator, Chris Voss and his book, Never Split the Difference. And we even debate how transferrable the skill of game design is! And we talked about so much more!!! Of course, we run out of time because we had so much fun chatting with Koreen… that we didn't get to Best and Worst! Next time… and Koreen will be back! More about Koreen: Koreen Pagano, Chief Product Officer at Thrive Learning and founder of Isanno, is a globally recognized product executive with deep expertise in learning technologies, skills strategy, AI, analytics, and immersive technologies. Koreen has held product leadership roles at companies including Lynda.com, LinkedIn, D2L, Degreed, and Wiley.

I recommend it to so many of my therapy clients who express a desire to understand grief – I've lost count. As a neuroscientist, she shares groundbreaking discoveries about what happens in our brain when we grieve, providing a new paradigm for understanding love, loss, and learning. So I'm very excited today to be speaking with Mary-Frances, neuroscientist and author of the book The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss, and to find out even more about the science behind grief and all that Mary-Frances and her colleagues have researched in their lab. I have been excitedly and patiently waiting for today's episode to find out even more of my favourite topics: grief and trauma and to have Mary-Frances enlighten our brains on those topics in a language that we can all understand. About this week's guestMary-Frances O'Connor, PhD is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss and Social Stress (GLASS) Lab. Her research focuses on the physiological correlates of emotion, in particular, the wide range of physical and emotional responses during bereavement, including yearning and isolation. She believes that a clinical science approach toward the experience and mechanisms of grieving can improve interventions for prolonged grief disorder, newly included in the revised DSM-5. Website: maryfrancesoconnor.orgTwitter: @doctormfo Instagram: @doctormfoconnor Resources mentioned in this episode:Mary-Frances' book: The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and LossThank you for listening!HOW TO DEAL WITH GRIEF AND TRAUMA is produced and edited by me, Nathalie Himmelrich. Support the showSupport the show: Become a supporter of the show!

A note from Diane: For my last interview of 2023, I bring you a special conversation with Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal Bishop of Washington -- and my faith leader. She joined me for the December edition of the Diane Rehm Book Club to discuss her work titled "How We Learn to Be Brave." In it, Bishop Budde explores the decisive moments in life when we are called to push past our fears and act with strength. Using examples from literature, her own life, the gospel, and the lives of others, she writes that being brave is not a singular occurrence, but a journey that we can choose to undertake every day. I thought this was a perfect message to share as we say goodbye to one year and welcome the next. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. Wishes for peace and joy in 2024!

Your job is to have an impact across those many notions.” —John Hattie, Ph.D.“We're very good at finding problems and fixing them but we're not as good—we're not having the courage—to study expertise and scale it up. And that's my mission. Scale up the expertise we have.” —John Hattie, Ph.D.“I'm an evidence-based person. Sometimes I don't like the results, but that doesn't mean you get to deny it. Some people want to deny it. Some people want to get angry with it. And sometimes evidence does get in the way of a good opinion.” —John Hattie, Ph.D.

In the last of this two-part miniseries, I talk about how grief impacts the body. I also share a little bit about what happened to me when I engaged with an unhealthy coping mechanism.

How Grief Rewires The Brain Being a human can be a wonderful thing. We're social creatures, craving strong bonds with family and friends. Those relationships can be the most rewarding parts of life. But having strong relationships also means the possibility of experiencing loss. Grief is one of the hardest things people go through in life. Those who have lost a loved one know the feeling of overwhelming sadness and heartache that seems to well up from the very depths of the body. To understand why we feel the way we do when we grieve, the logical place to turn is to the source of our emotions: the brain. A new book explores the neuroscience behind this profound human experience. Ira speaks to Mary-Frances O'Connor, author of The Grieving Brain: The Surprising Science of How We Learn from Love and Loss, a neuroscientist, about adjusting to life after loss.   Midwest Aims To Add Large Indoor Animal Farms, Despite Concerns Legislation and programs in states like Missouri and Nebraska are paving the way to welcome large livestock operations by limiting local control over the facilities. Some rural residents worry about the potential pollution and decreased quality of life that will bring.In Cooper County, Missouri, CAFOs are a controversial topic. Susan Williams asked to meet in a small local library to talk about it, hoping that there wouldn't be anyone around. Even in this quiet atmosphere, she's nervous about people overhearing the conversation. “I just don't want the whole town to hear me,” she said. Concentrated animal feed operations, commonly called CAFOs, are large animal facilities that hold thousands of head of livestock. Iowa leads the Midwest in the number of CAFOs with about 4,000 of them. However, in recent years, laws and programs have paved the way for CAFOs to operate in other Midwestern states, including Missouri and Nebraska. That's worrying residents like Williams, a retired elementary school principal and a farmland owner from Clarksburg, Missouri. Back in 2018, a large hog operation called Tipton East planned on moving in less than a mile away from her house. The size of the operation, about 8,000 hogs, concerned her, especially since she grew up with a small hog farm. “Just the smell and the waste that you had was tremendous with that,” she said. “And I couldn't imagine what it would be like with that many hogs.” Read the rest on sciencefriday.com   Blending The Sounds Of Climate Change With Appalachian Music Daniel Bachman is an acclaimed musician, known for his unique blend of Appalachian-inspired folk music and meditative drones. But, for his latest album, titled Almanac Behind, he wanted to try something a little different. Bachman lives in central Virginia, which has recently experienced multiple extreme weather events influenced by climate change. Unusually heavy snow in January 2022 caused power outages and trapped drivers in their cars on highways. Later in the year, intense rainfall led to downed power lines and flooding. And wildfires are becoming increasingly common in the Appalachian region. “I had the idea to document everything that we experienced through the end of this recording process,” he said. With the help of family and friends, Bachman gathered field recordings of these sounds of climate change, and weaved them together with the banjo and guitar. “It did feel like I was working collaboratively with non-human partners,” he said. “It makes me feel better to work with these forces, instead of trying to constantly push them away.” Bachman also talks about his work as an independent scholar, and how the traditions of Appalachian folklore influenced his view of the album as a climatological historical document.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
