I had put it out of mind, because I didn't think I was going to be able to free up the time.<br /><br />Now that I look at it though, maybe. Assuming you aren't full up. :)<br /><br />Either way, consider yourself in possession of a coupon for one beer.

I do have performance goals as we change cycles... but that's really a different topic, though, so I'll leave that aside.<br /><br />I'm working slowly on a proposal for a class on plain clothes operations. Our basic LE academy does a great job teaching people to be uniformed cops... then they get a detective assignment, or just tapped for some plainclothes detail, and it's "good luck, off you go..." I'm setting it up in a modular format because some things may not work out for one reason or another (like range days or surveillance practicals). That way -- the module on surveillance or planning a plainclothes op or whatever can be pulled out as a stand-alone if necessary. Or omitted if it can't be done for some reason.jks9199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-77484285611712260632010-10-01T16:30:02.508-07:002010-10-01T16:30:02.508-07:00Don't think I put enough into that last commen...Don't think I put enough into that last comment.<br /><br />One problem I see with a lot of martial arts training is that there is no real goal. Sure "black belt". Maybe even continous improvement but a key idea to the modular approach to me is that 'you will learn x and be able to accomplish y within z amount of time'. (which can feed back into a 'continous improvement' or not. It could simply be picking up skills and going with what you got)<br /><br /><br />I've got a place I train at that I enjoy but I've also got other things I want to develop. The focus this year has been getting back in shape supplemented with only low to moderate amounts of MA training. After that I figure the right couple of guys to train with, about a year of working through my personal modules with a 'training partner' focus rather then a 'teaching' focus. <br /><br />Just my thoughts, maybe something will mesh with your thoughts, maybe not.Curious to hear what you come up with, even thought I'm not there to enjoy it.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15353783271100674218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-76132882728000810102010-10-01T16:18:56.875-07:002010-10-01T16:18:56.875-07:00I've been leaning towards a modular approach a...I've been leaning towards a modular approach as well. <br /><br />I actually have a concept of integrating it into a traditional belt structure for those who care about such things.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15353783271100674218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-72184714441171843192010-10-01T14:08:32.180-07:002010-10-01T14:08:32.180-07:00I'll be in Seattle the weekend of the 23rd...I'll be in Seattle the weekend of the 23rd...Roryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483616030072739190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-58400646670252239242010-10-01T13:59:35.464-07:002010-10-01T13:59:35.464-07:00That is honestly the general direction my brain ha...That is honestly the general direction my brain has gone every time you bring up your lack of desire to teach "Regular Classes". I have never quite come up with more than some half formed notion of focused classes that work on specific angles, I think the addition of a defined terminus to each focused class is a missing piece! I am definitely going to have to think on that some more.<br /><br />I have spent a ton of time thinking through various aspects of martial arts training over the years, trying to come up with better approaches for different aspects of it.<br /><br />Reading your thoughts and experiences in this area has been a blast.<br /><br />I said it before elsewhere, I owe you a beer the next time I am down in Portland. :)<br /><br />Thanks Rory.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15131978298661765427noreply@blogger.com
