How To Get More From A 90 Minute Rope Class
How To Get More From A 90 Minute Rope Class
The Reality Of Convention Education
A lot can happen in 90 minutes.
And a lot cannot.
That is not a criticism of convention education. I have taught at conventions across North America for years. I have seen incredible instructors teach thoughtful, well structured classes in short time blocks.
But there is a limit to what can happen in 90 minutes.
You can be introduced to an idea.
You can be shown a tie.
You can have a moment where something clicks.
What you usually cannot do is fully absorb, understand, practice, troubleshoot, adapt, and retain everything you were shown.
Yet many students walk into a class expecting exactly that.
They leave frustrated because they could not capture every detail.
The students who learn the most often approach those 90 minutes differently.
