Episode notes
Flamenco Teacher At A Fighting Monkey Talk
- A flamenco instructor attended Jozef's lecture to hear movement talked about beyond technique.
- This shows Fighting Monkey's language about movement appeals to diverse practitioners.
Prediction Machines And Movement
- The brain minimizes surprise by constantly predicting sensory input and updating models or acting to change the world.
- Fighting Monkey frames practice as training this perception-action loop to reduce prediction error and increase adaptability.
Zero Forms Versus Movement Situations
- Fighting Monkey splits practice into zero forms (study internal state) and movement situations (simulate future interactions).
- Zero forms tune interoception/proprioception while movement situations build unpredictable response repertoires.
