This week Sid talks to one of the biggest and brightest stars in country music – Lainey Wilson. Back in May, he drove up to Nashville and got to have this conversation in person at Lainey’s farmhouse outside of town. The occasion was a Southern Living cover shoot, and Lainey and Sid sat down on a pair of comfortable chairs in her speakeasy-style basement, which is where she writes a lot of her songs. Lainey couldn’t have been more welcoming as a host, even though she’d been touring nonstop for her latest album, Whirlwind . She’s also hosting the CMA Awards in mid-November, and she’s appearing in the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel Reminders of Him early next year. But Lainey has clearly not forgotten her small-town roots in Baskin, Louisiana, or the importance of good friends, family, and her faith. She talked a lot about how she stays grounded, how she keeps holding on despite a wild few years in Nashville, and the importance of keeping her people close. She also told some funny stories about her fiance, Devlin Hodges, who goes by Duck, and how she and her family celebrate Thanksgiving.

Coach Firas Zahabi's Big Dumb Oopsie 8:59

18 weeks тому8:59

8:59

I didn’t watch the debate, but I know it sucked. What I found in the comments is embarrassing. Snort. A study lol. Why would scientists call a neurological phenomenon “muscle memory?” Doesn’t even pass the smell test. The article states that muscle memory is making muscles remember movements, but then Zahabi says it’s neurological. Sloppy, sophomoric, embarrassing, does not even merit reply, frankly. EDIT: I just noticed he calls it “muscle memory/motor learning”—this is idiotic at best and dishonest at worst. Of course motor learning is a empirical phenomenon; every conceivable theoretical camp in motor learning believes their own discipline of study exists. Greg is arguing for a view of motor learning. Why would he be arguing motor learning doesn’t exist? You can’t use the two interchangeably. Muscle memory is not motor learning. It doesn’t define motor learning, and it’s not a position inside motor learning except to people who have no idea what they’re talking about. This is a public episode.

Why the Practical Karate Movement isn't Improving Karate 14:05

My friend Daniel Marino made a critical observation about the karate community: “It’s about looking good, not learning how to fight.” Now, if you’re a part of the so-called “practical karate” or “practical bunkai” movement, you might think that you are exempt from this statement…but you’re not. Dan wasn’t just talking about the most traditional of the traditionalists. He was talking about the practical karate people, too. I haven’t addressed it specifically yet, but I have touched on the practical karate and taekwondo crowd from time to time… This is an audio essay version of an article I wrote last year: Bring your CLA coaching and ecological dynamics knowledge to the next level and upgrade to the premium combat learning newsletter.

CLA is Not Positional Sparring... 9:01

37 weeks тому9:01

9:01

Positional sparring is consistent with the constraints-led approach (CLA) to coaching—and by extension, scalable live training (SLT)—but positional sparring tends to have a less flexible scope of practice. So whereas all positional sparring can be CLA, the CLA is not simply positional sparring: it can be much more or much less, depending on the necessary scale.

There are no Eco Games. [Audio] 13:08

Information processing and ecological dynamics are both theories of perception and learning. They explain your relationship to the environment and how that affects your internal states and vice versa. As such, they inform training methodologies, but they are not methodologies in themselves. Or, put another way, they have clear implications for how you should train, but as theories of perception and learning, they do not constitute organized systems of how to do training. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, developing literature-based methodologies is necessary. Want to upgrade your coaching or training?

Bruce Lee's Tao of Aliveness [Audio Essay] 30:11

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 . Want to upgrade your coaching?

Embodied Cognition and Martial Arts w/ Sony Sahota 1:37:28

1 year тому1:37:28

1:37:28

Today I'm joined Sony Sahota, owner of Praxis Gym and a teacher of judo, wrestling, and jiu jitsu.In this episode, we discuss how Sony approaches training through the lens of embodied cognition , specifically enactivism. Sony recounts how it changed his entire approach to training, and then we move into a deep philosophical discussion about embodied cognition.One of my favorite parts of the discussion was when we discussed the role of agency and will within the embodied understanding. Sony is interesting because he used to make an income from BJJ Fanatics instructionals. After his philosophy of coaching changed, he put his principles first and no longer makes instructionals, instead focusing on his own mat and teaching in-person seminars from an embodied cognition angle.

Learning thru Play and Connected Coaching w/ Kabir Bath 58:32

1 year тому58:32

Today I’m joined by BJJ black belt Kabir Bath. Kabir is one of the early success stories in the ecological jiu jitsu movement, and he has the distinction of a commercially successful gym, too—especially a large children’s program. In this episode, we explore the value and effectiveness of learning through play, as well as the vitalness of coaches connecting personally with their students, big and small. More About Kabir… Professor Kabir Bath began practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu in 2006 and discovered his passion for coaching soon after. Driven by a desire to help others exceed their personal expectations through jiu jitsu, he opened Kaboom Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Surrey, B.C. in 2012. As a dedicated coach and active competitor, Professor Kabir is committed to helping both adults and children achieve their goals, whether they are simply to stay fit and have fun, or to become a world champion. In 2018, Professor Kabir was awarded his black belt by Professor Rafael Lovato Jr. Where to Find Kabir...

A Constraints-led Approach to Preparing Your Body for Combat w/ Raul Sanchez Garcia 29:42

Dr. Garcia joins us one final time to discuss a few very interesting topics. First, we talk briefly about donor sports and the part they play in building better skills for your main sport. Finally, Raul helps us understand how we can use CLA not just for training in the sport itself but also a preparedness that comes with greater skill in stress management. --- Join the email list now: ⁠https://combatlearning.com/⁠ --- Produced by Micah Peacock Intro Theme by Micah Peacock Outro Music is Synergy by Juche This is a public episode.

False Assumptions of Kata-based Training w/ Raul Sanchez Garcia 29:30

Dr. Garcia joins us again today to unpack the false assumptions that lie beneath the kata-based training system and traditional martial arts. He shows how early ecological researchers such as Nicholai Bernstein blows up the conventional wisdom of traditional martial arts. He then spends the bulk of this episode comparing and contrasting the differences between Information Processing and Ecological conceptualizations of how to develop skill, noting all the little glitches and hiccups that go unexamined about IP thinking. --- Join the email list now: https://combatlearning.com/ --- Produced by Micah Peacock Intro Theme by Micah Peacock Outro Music is Synergy by Juche This is a public episode.

Kata were Insignificant in Historical Warring Japan w/ Raul Sanchez Garcia 26:31

2 years тому26:31

26:31

Today I'm joined by Dr. Raul Sanchez Garcia, a sport science lecturer at the University Politécnica of Madrid, Spain, martial artist, and Ecological Dynamics thinker. Most researchers in the ecological approach come from a psychology background. Dr. Garcia is unique in that he approaches Ecological Dynamics from the vantage point of ethnography, which is the systematic study of peoples and their cultures. In that vein, he wrote a fantastic social history on the development of Japanese martial arts. In this episode, Dr. Garcia walks us through the historic significance of kata based on his research. Or rather, how it was not significant -- or at least not ubiquitous -- in the war-torn pre-restoration periods of Japan. Rather, it is only after war becomes a less common part of life that kata rises in popularity as a training tool. Kata-heads will no doubt be scandalized at this revelation, as will traditionalists from other styles. But even if you're a non-traditional martial artist, this information will be interesting and useful for your own understanding of the current training landscape. This isn't just about kata: it's about any sort of rote training modality. ---Join the email list now: combatlearning.com/newsletter---Produced by Micah PeacockIntro Theme by Micah PeacockOutro Music is Synergy by Juche This is a public episode.

Mobility Training for Martial Arts (NOT Yoga) w/ Matt Phili 55:24

2 years тому55:24

55:24

Today I'm joined by Matt Phili, a mobility training coach and founder of Primal Mobility. Whether a grappler or striker, most martial artists need greater mobility. However, most of the mobility routines you see around Instagram really won't cut it, and stretching isn't necessarily good mobility work either -- at least on its own. In this episode, Matt unpacks his approach to mobility training: not simply as a stretching routine, but as an approach to strength in progressively deeper ranges of motion. Primal Mobility is unique in that it feels more like accessory exercises in a strength program than a stretching protocol, including sets and reps. In the second half of the episode, we dive into more grappling and striking-specific advice on building and maintaining mobility. Topics include guard-play and guard retention, bridging, as well as higher, more powerful kicks. Finally, we discuss the importance of training outside of neutral spine and in compromised positions to help prevent injuries during the course of real life combat sports performance. A quick note, Matt doesn't come from an Ecological Dynamics or CLA framework. I've had other guests on that aren't ecological before, but I haven't done a good job of making that clear. --- Join the newsletter now: https://combatlearning.com/newsletter --- Where to find Matt...
