Listen "Progressive Resistance Training"
Episode Synopsis
The episode emphasizes the importance of progressively increasing resistance during martial arts training.
A skilled training partner is crucial, adapting their resistance level to match the student's skill and the specific training objective.
Starting with compliant resistance allows for proper technique development, gradually increasing to build timing and adaptability.
Forcing techniques against full resistance is counterproductive, potentially hindering learning and reinforcing bad habits.
This approach aligns with the stages of self-defense training, ensuring a smooth learning progression.
The ultimate goal is to develop functional skills under pressure, achieved through carefully managed resistance levels.
