Rhythm and Teaching

Did you know that studies were done on human rhythms? In classrooms the rhythm of the class as a whole is determined by the rhythm of the teacher. It has also been found that when students are immersed in their own, familiar, rhythm then and  only then do the settle down into a comfortable rhythm and learn. Is this another aspect a Sensei shall investigate to achieve an optimal learning environment.

Many times in my past postings I have alluded to perspective martial artists seeking a good dojo to look at the personalities of the martial system and the Sensei as well as the dojo atmosphere in finding a good fit. It now appears to me that finding a dojo, a Sensei and fellow practitioners that have a similar rhythm might be such a personality and atmosphere a perspective new person could and would thrive.

As humans we seek out clan's that meet our social needs as to belief system, expectations, perceptions and now rhythms that match up, that are synchronistic. We join or allowed to join such clans and there by assure survival. The survival instincts rear up once again.

Is this all possible, rhythms? People are dominated by behavior which is influenced by complex systems of threads or connections to similar rhythms. All human behavior may be connected intricately by a rhythmic system or process. We are just now fully comprehending that rhythm is the essence of time and that equal and syntonic intervals of time defined events as rhythmic.

We see a master perform and we instinctively recognize a pattern of rhythms that seem to be perceived in a way that makes them a master. This seems to validate the book of changes and other terse tome of such as the gokui, maybe yes?
