What are the overall pre and post Covid trends in terms of Quality of Competition at North American and European HEMA tournaments?
What are the overall pre and post Covid trends in terms of Quality of Competition at North American and European HEMA tournaments?
So, how do you compare HEMA tournaments analytically? I’ve been thinking about this challenge for quite some time, and I think I have an answer.
Does specializing in a weapon make you better at it? Or does diversification improve performance? Can you use data mining to justify buying even more swords?
What difference does it make how a coach tells someone to get their sword higher? Well, actually, quite a big one.
If you’re reading this you’ve either made it to the end of the article series on Ecological Approaches to Coaching, or you just skipped to the end because you wanted the TL;DR. Fortunately I think this article will be able to please both crowds.
In this article we will go a little more into depth of how feedback fits into the Perception-Action coupling. Because contrary to what you might have thought, you can control something without a mental model of what it will do.
Perception-action coupling is how we make the connection between information available to us, and actual motor control.
Direct Perception is the idea that we don’t actually create a mental model of the world, and the visual information we take in doesn’t need to be “decoded” at all.
An important part to understanding how to use Ecological Approaches is the concept of an “affordance”. This is the ability to act on/in the enviornment.
We use our bodies every day, so it seems natural and unremarkable. In truth, even the smallest motions are way more complex than you ever appreciated. This is due to the compounding nature of degrees of freedom at every joint in the human body.
