Instructing/Teaching MA: Monochronic; Polychronic

When I discuss teaching methods it becomes important to understand how the brain works, generally, so we can adjust our training methods to best suit the learning of practitioners. Some folks can do many things at one time while others can do one thing at a time. The brain on one tends to lock out peripheral stuff while focused on the one task at hand. These persons can have that exploited if you are well versed in fundamental principles of martial systems. On the same thing there are those whose brains still try to take in all of the peripheral stuff while doing the one task.

As with all things in nature, there is both good and bad for both types of brain processes. Finding that balance point in instruction; finding that balance point in learning and practicing; and finding that point as it relates to the fundamental principles of martial systems for reality intent is a difficult but doable endeavor for any one practicing a fighting/self protection system.

In martial systems one can exploit a threats action if they can take advantage of either their monochronic or polychronic tendencies. Since most cases of a threat taking violent actions against you, a victim, you must know that the majority of said attacks come from the brain that is monochronic.

Some considerations in teaching/instructing but also in strategies and tactics of martial systems. Yes? No? Maybe? Comments ...
