Just wondering if you ever do any kind of training without the gear on at all and if so what is it like?
Mike we identify the need for training in 8 different stages. This is needed to allow the student to work through their awkward stage through guided discovery, then into their comfort zone, then we can start building proficiency, then adding the stress inoculation.
1.
Shadow training - No Gear
2.
Prop Training - with props - no gear
3.
Partner Training - with partner, props and gear
4.
Movement Training - with partner - props, wearing gear
5.
Environment Training -with partner - props, wearing gear in various actual environments
6.
Low Level Simulations-with partner - props, wearing gear in
controlled area like gym, conducting various techniques at a moderate level of intensity were the student knows the technique they are going to be doing and how they are being attacked
7.
High Level Simulations -with partner - props, wearing gear in different environments that will be it, conducting various techniques at a moderate/high level of intensity were the
student knows the technique they are going to be doing and how they are being attacked
8.
Dynamic Confrontations-with partner - props, wearing gear in different environments that will be it, conducting various techniques at a moderate/high level of intensity were the student
DOES NOT know the technique they are going to be doing and how they are being attacked
There is more to it but that should give you an idea......Thanks
