She's the one that wanted the deck. Our 20th wedding anniversary is in a couple days on the 24th. I'd like to be around for our 21st. Lol.

On Saturday drove about 1000 klicks and got new puzzle mats. Today I'm going to figure out how do I fit all of them inside the house or is it even possible at all. :D

After work, I'll be traveling to a friend's academy a little more that an hour away to attend a seminar with 6th Degree Black Belt Octavio Couto.

Octavio definitely gets around. He said this was about his 99th clinic/seminar this year. I believe he said he just got back from Europe earlier today and Brazil before that.

Consider the following axiom:
It is suboptimal to teach a technique and counters (position and reverse position) in the same class.
Why, you might ask?
Because when you add resistance, by definition one side is more successful than the other. Be it because the techniques are simpler in the beginning or other factors.
So you can't really have success with BOTH sides of the topic. And then the time spent on one side is wasted.
You want to set people up for experiencing as much success as possible within boundaries for positive reinforcement to happen and therefore learning to happen.

I disagree (shocking, I know). Sometimes in order to get into the reality of a position you need to cover common counters. Depends on the position, the situation, and the audience.
In my opinion, thinking there in 1 way to always teach is limiting. There is no "never", there is only "sometimes".
Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory.

If your teaching an overall concept then I agree with Joe. Example sweeps and passing guard which can be generalized in a general concept of balance. And then you can use the defensive aspect to help your offense and the offensive aspect to help your defense and so on.
If your teaching like anacondas/darces, kimuras or anything like that then I agree with Jorgen. As then the counters are more specific type of counters which can then distract from the point of focus.
Also I got into pans! Over under on me losing my first match? lol

In context of one class - teach a sweep or two, teach a pass or two, then what? Both can not have equal success = ergo, less reinforcement, less learning.

Ah, see this is where we diverge. You assume reinforcement only comes with repetition of a specific movement. In this situation, movement you taught them. With little to no resistance. Uchikomi. I don't think this is the only path to improvement.
It's one path.
It's not one I prefer for myself. I am a "big picture" guy. I want to know why we're doing something and when I should be doing it. I bore easily with uchikomi and get too mired in the tiny details that might not actually matter when it comes to sparring. I might come up with a better notion of what to do with my game while sparring than what I was shown. As a result, I can assume others are the same way. So, SOMETIMES it makes sense to alter your teaching methodologies to align with preferences for multiple types of students. Some students will develop their own path for doing things that might be significantly better than what they were taught.
That's what makes true Combat Sports beautiful as opposed to "Martial Arts" which are often mired in conserving tradition.

We need to talk.
I don't mean uchikomi - in uchikomi you can easily balance out - do 10 sweeps, do 10 passes. Done. Equal.
HOWEVER if you put it into resistance context be it isolation and varying degrees drills or sparring it becomes different.
P.S. I use the word "reinforcement" in learning theory context. Behaviour that is reinforced gets learned / sustained. Behaviour that doesn't or worse gets punished, disappears.

I use that too in simulations. The "uke" plays an important role. The uke will control the level of resistance and the goal is for the person doing the technique/drill to figure out what works for him and what doesn't using the stuff that we are working on. Resistance is always scaled down to allow success and only then gets upped a notch. There's always an underlying princible/concept, which has to be applied for stuff to work, but the rest is up to the individual.
Positive reinforcement is the fastest and probably the best way to learn something.
I had re-scheduled a private for today, but we ended pushing it to Monday. So now I'm bored. Trying to think of stuff to do instead of going outside to do housework.

Right. You're using learning theory as the basis for what works. I don't have an education in learning theory. I also don't have any education in business. So what I have tried to do over the years of making it my business to teach is to apply the scientific method:
1. make an observation that describes a problem
2. create a hypothesis
3. test the hypothesis
4. draw conclusions and refine the hypothesis
And what I have observed so far is the following:
1. Different people learn at different rates
2. Different people prefer different learning methods
So if I have different learning methods that can alter the learning rates then I should not be static in how I teach or only certain people will get better at the higher rate. And from a business perspective, the more people that are successful the more likely they will stay.

Tricked wifey and took her to her bachelorette party and got dragged to my own cause I forgot to take 2nd set of car keys with me. Couldn't escape. Oh well. Good day. Rolled with friends and wifey's brothers, had a good sauna, ate some good steak and hung out with the in-laws playing video games.

Listening to Senjutsu (new Iron Maiden album). The lads are almost 70 and still got it. This might be their best album since BNW.
Oh and got the 2nd shot of Pfizer.

Didn't realize new Maiden dropped already. I'll have to listen to that, thanks. and congrats on second dose.
