TEACHING AND TRAINING METHODOLOGY

FROM PROGRESSION
TO THE COURT.
A methodology only gains value when it can guide real teaching decisions.
In practice, one approach used to bring the Method’s principles onto the court is to demonstrate, execute, observe, correct and try again — raising the demands as execution becomes more consistent.
DEMONSTRATE
Present the technical reference.
EXECUTE
Guide the athlete into the movement.
OBSERVE
Identify the detail that needs adjusting.
CORRECT
Provide a clear reference.
TRY AGAIN
Apply the correction in the next execution.
RAISE THE DEMANDS
Progress when execution becomes more consistent.
The aim is not simply to repeat. It is to repeat with purpose and criteria.
A LANGUAGE THAT MAKES THE COMPLEX TEACHABLE.
Tigre.
Esgrima.
Braço da Mira.
Pé de Bailarina.

Chifre de Unicórnio.

TO BRING MÉTODO R17 TO OTHER COURTS, THOSE WHO TEACH ALSO NEED TRAINING.

It requires understanding:

- how to correct;
- when to progress;
- how to preserve the methodology’s principles.
