One thing that has always helped me both teach and learn is to distinguish between concept and technique. For example, I could probably keep a newbie busy for the next two years just teaching double stick sinawali patterns (depending on his and my threshhold of boredom and the threshhold of his wallet). But what good does that accomplish? Chances are, if you show him a dozen basic patterns and teach him the concept, he should be able to figure out a few more dozen on his own, and even "discover" countless new patterns. Then he starts to integrate this in the overall scheme of the arnis universe. In fact, for me, that's what makes learning arnis fun, and (joyously) interminable. Jay de Leon "Leslie L. Buck Jr. TKA" wrote: Here's a topic that really gets me excited. It's the teaching method. I am interested in this because I truly believe the secret in martial arts is not in the technique, but in the training method. The best technique in the world will never work if it is not trained properly. So how effective we are going to be depends on the teaching method and our effort to learn. snipped... Once you start to get it, then the learning and teaching process will accelerate - more subtleties are revealed, more material is condensed in drills that require more. Eventually, you will learn on the fly (while Tuhon is hitting you), through technical sparring and bridging drills, through teaching and through sharing experiences with other instructors and students who are on the same quest for knowledge. best regards to all, Leslie _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list, 2200 members Eskrima@martialartsresource.net Copyright 1994-2005: Ray Terry and Martial Arts Resource Standard disclaimers apply http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima --__--__-- Message: 2 Subject: RE: [Eskrima] custom browser for martial arts Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 13:55:26 -0400 From: "Clint Cayson" To: Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net I was just wondering why Mr. Terry is not into "Martial Arts Resource Magazine" or other related reading materials to what we are discussing over the forum. I'm sure there are members will be happy to support the cause. We all know that's free to receive instant emails but sometimes some members have no time checking there emails - because of their respective activities. Just an idea also. Thanks. Repectfully, Clint -----Original Message----- hi folks had an idea , dont know if its any good but here goes a custom web browser only with links to martial arts sites folks able to submit their own links to be contained in the browser submit articles on your own sites or ma sites where you have had good service, info etc freely distributable open source ( visual basic ) just think it nice if you open the browser and all you can get are user reccomended sites , articles etc whats your feeling folks ? is it worth the while to start codeing it ? Malcolm-k If you think its worthwhile or got any thoughts but don't wanna clog up the board then mail me at malcolmk@ntlworld.com just be sure to put "custom browser" in the subject line. --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 14:06:54 -0400 (EDT) From: Andrew Maddox To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: Re: [Eskrima] custom browser for martial arts Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net On Mon, 16 May 2005, malcolm knight wrote: >hi folks > had an idea , dont know if its any good but here goes > a custom web browser only with links to martial arts sites > whats your feeling folks ? is it worth the while to start codeing it ? Personal opinion only - I think Malcolm's onto something here, but a customized web browser would be too much effort. Start up a site where you collect links to websites that people like, with user testimonials and ratings. Collect those websites together into downloadable bookmarks lists in various formats (Exploder, Netscrape, Mozilla, Safari, etc.) and offer periodic updates. Much easier and maybe more useful than a "martial arts-only" browser. Actually this one's being done, isn't it? But if you could collect those lists of lists together and get some variety of people to keep them fresh and reviewed, then you'd have something worth working on (I think). Besides, you started talking about Visual Basic there, and some of us don't run platforms that are exactly on speaking terms with that, to put it nicely ;-) ND, tossing in a free opinion -- Andrew Maddox, madsox squiggle radix point net DC-area martial artist?

Why don't I publish a magazine? (1) I'm too lazy. (2) I'm too busy. (3) It would take time away from my students. (4) The market is probably pretty small. (5) All the above. Pick one of the above and you'll be close... :) Seems like the free "push" approach is the best for getting info out quickly and cheaply to the online Eskrima-world.
