My way......

Here is how I would instruct someone on aiming.

I would not mentioned one thing about any aiming system. Not contact point, not contact patch, not fractional and so on. It would be as if those did not exist. The reason for this the difference in what people do with the shot picture in their minds eye. I want the player to discover aiming in a pure way, natural if you will, by trail and error. If they are serious, they will end up using one of those methods without ever being told about them. It will just come to them from well design practice sessions.

I would use my past experiences at the table to set up shots to make. Easy ones at first of course.

I would than have them shoot it. If they miss, I'd ask them why. I'd set the shot up again and repeat.

I would just ask questions from what I observe. Did you feel comfortable in the stance? How the the stroke feel? Could you of stroked it different and so on. What could you have done different to make that shot? Then set the shot up and repeat. The shots will get tougher over time of course.

The point is to guide the player in discovering his own style of play. To develop what is working for them. Not to preach a certain style, technique, method and so on. To guide someone, you must put aside what works for you and focus solely on what works for them. Design practice sessions to eliminate weakness.

You are a pathetic little man. You have no useful purpose here. You just stir the shit up. You have no ability to think on your own.

And those that welcomed you back......well...there is no accounting for taste.

You are just a keyboard warrior.....a useless one at that.

I really have my doubts about this forum when they let the likes you back on here. You add nothing regardless what you think.

And yes CTE sucks despite what you and the other koolaid drinkers think.

The only thing that matters is practice........a well structured practice is what makes people improve and that is what my way is about....better practice.

But you...and others are just clueless about this. It all the system or the pivot or the stroke or the tip.

And all are wrong. Its practice. A well structured practice that gets a person to the top.

Go ahead a reply with your usual bullshit rant. It just shows how much of a loser you really are.

Looking forward to seeing your first student's success and yours. If you ever post a video of you running ten balls in a row I will send a congratulatory cake to Edgie's with your name on it.

I was into martial arts a long, long time ago. I've always been interested in the mind, body, spirit aspect. I draw a lot from training practices used into what I do.

I read that sometimes in teaching akido that no words are used to explain the moves being taught. The instructor shows the move and it is up to the student to figure it out. The logic is that words are too limited in meaning to fully express what is needed to do the moves. That the student would be more focus on the words on how to do something instead of focusing in the doing.

I learn best from watching then doing. I don't need words. This leaves me free from others words, which may or may not be explaining accurately what is going on.

There are no words I can use to explain what I see or how I see it. There are no words that can explain how I know to stroke on this or that shot. There are no words to explain how I know I'm in the right stance for a shot. These things I do know from doing, not from hearing others words and then trying to follow those words in the doing.

i like this idea. a lot. it won't suit everyone. and if forced to venture a guess, maybe would only be good/great for a slim minority. but what you say resonates with me. there's a time and place for everything. and everyone.

it's too bad you're not local to me. i think i do this kind of thing, in reverse, from a student perspective. i am always watching others, and when i see something i want to be able to do, i'll remember the situation, the find that player later, tell him what i saw and liked, and what i didn't understand... and ask them to show me. but, that's not a "program".... that's haphapzard, sporadic... would be good to have a connection and relationship that has consistency over a prolonged period.

Duckie said he would watch people and copy them in martial arts. I gave him one video to use for that purpose.
