Learning to Fight! Conversations in Combat Skill
#12 - Training in reality (today and beyond)!! A chat with Professor James Stafford
An information loaded discussion with Professor James Stafford. Dr Stafford has a PhD in experimental psycology with a keen interest in Motor Learning and Skill Acquisition and Virtual Reality.
James and I discuss the incredibly sensitive and sophisticated calibration of the perceptual motor system as it pertains to movement in martial arts and sport more generally.
James delivers a ton of fascinating insights into what we think is going on and why this is so crucial to the way we train and develop skills.
Additionally James talks about the exciting world of Virtual Reality and what is coming down the pipeline in terms of training aids, skill development devices and even concussion managment tools.
