The Value of Good Teachers: Movement Analysis

I took a rope/single-tail silks workshop at The Space with Marina Luna.  It was wonderful.  I learned new things, and tried out rope, and today I have some sore muscles.

The instructor really knows her stuff, too: she watched me try to swing into s-wrap, once, and told me why I am getting so much slack in the wrap, and what kind of motion I should be trying for, clearly and without unnecessary verbiage.  And I tried it, and I need more work, but I got a lot less slack in the wrap, first try.

Contrast this to a tae twon do "master" in the McDojo system I spent 4 years in, who watched my form and told me that "something is wrong, but I don't know what.  Next group!"
