The Way of Least Resistance: Kata, kinaesthesia, proprioception and motor learning

http://dandjurdjevic.blogspot.com/2012/10/kata-kinaesthesia-and-proprioception.html

The Way of Least Resistance. Dan Djurdjevic on the martial arts and related disciplines. Saturday, October 6, 2012. Kata, kinaesthesia, proprioception and motor learning. Nowadays it is common to hear martial artists say: "Kata teaches principles – not techniques." And many of us will sagely nod in agreement. But what does this expression really mean? We might have an intuitive understanding that this is a true statement, but how does it manifest? Put another way, how. That touches briefly on the topic.

The Way of Least Resistance: The importance of flow

http://dandjurdjevic.blogspot.com/2010/01/importance-of-flow.html

The Way of Least Resistance. Dan Djurdjevic on the martial arts and related disciplines. Tuesday, January 19, 2010. The importance of flow. After my recent intensive training. With Master Chen, a fellow karateka asked me the following:. 8221;I hope this isn’t a stupid question, but did you learn anything of relevance to karate? One of the most important of these principles is the need for “flow” or connectivity between techniques. What I mean by "flow". It is important to note that "flow" need not take t...

The Way of Least Resistance: Kata techniques as "stem cell movements"

http://dandjurdjevic.blogspot.com/2013/01/kata-techniques-as-stem-cell-movements.html

The Way of Least Resistance. Dan Djurdjevic on the martial arts and related disciplines. Saturday, January 26, 2013. Kata techniques as "stem cell movements". I have often spoken of kata as teaching "principles" rather than "techniques". It occurs to me that one of the best ways to illustrate what I mean is by reference to the most "basic" kata in karate. Why these kata? Rather kata put your body through specific movements designed to promote motor learning and essential kinaesthetic awareness. Examples ...

http://dandjurdjevic.blogspot.com/2009/05/details-details.html

The Way of Least Resistance. Dan Djurdjevic on the martial arts and related disciplines. Thursday, May 14, 2009. I have a mate named Harry who will dismiss a (sometimes obviously) valid point or argument with the retort: "Details, details.". Of course he always says it with a little smile. It's a long-standing joke we have. Important, particularly in the martial arts. Consider the following example:. The late, great, Chinese martial arts teacher Chen Pan-Ling. For example, in the case of taijiquan, he di...

The Way of Least Resistance. Dan Djurdjevic on the martial arts and related disciplines. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. A surprise defence of the double hip. I have an idea that this article is going to surprise some folks. Or, given my declaration. At the end of last year that I was over "polemic writing", maybe it won't. Anyway, over the past few years, my thoughts on the issue of the " double hip. Have changed subtly - but significantly - and I thought I'd elaborate on them. A big part of my own journey int...
