Erik Paulson - The Art of Learning

Today's entry in the Art of Learning series finds Erik Paulson teaching how to learn a technique.


Coach Paulson uses his T.R.I.G. formula:

1. Technique - learn the technique from an instructor
2. Repetition - drill the technique ... you put in the time and work your reps
3. Isolation - isolate the technique and work only that technique vs any situation
4. Go - (or "Grappling") use the technique against a resisting partner

Please check out these 2 links for further information on the T.R.I.G.:
