The first combat learning live Q&A! We discuss…

* How you don’t have to intervene during training and you don’t have to generate feedback for students if it’s not necessary.

* The power of external instructions, especially with young children acquiring movement skills.

* CLA for coaching poomsae and kata.

* Overcorrecting and junk coaching.

…and more!

I’m going to do more live Q&A sessions. If you have a question you want answered, comment here, on Instagram, send messages on either platform, or in the Substack chat. I’ll address them on the next Q&A.

See you there!

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.
