Personal Learning Challenge Week 2:
First of all, I have to say that kickboxing is really very interesting. In fact, I have learned yoga, but I always feel that yoga is very boring and can’t mobilize my enthusiasm. Kickboxing made me very excited, I think I can stick to the sport.
In the first week I found a kickboxing basic video on YouTube, the coach explained very detailed. How to use hand wrap and basic stance and hands to keep at the side. Left jab, right cross points, punching is not just the strength of the arm, but from the foot to force. And after the coach demonstration, there are guidance for the students, and pointed out common mistakes.
I studied left jab and right cross. And I also bought an inflatable sandbag.
I think that based on video learning, although it lacks interactivity, it can give me a basic understanding of kickboxing.
I think learning kickboxing is similar to Apprenticeship, learning by doing, which is learned through coaching and action decomposition.
Because online learning of sports may be different from other skills. I mean simply learning a exercise. So there is no need for after-school exercises, multiple-choice questions. But I still think about it if I want to Kickboxing moves to online education and needs to consider interactivity and motivation.
Regarding interactivity, I think the course must have online collaborative learning. When the students have misunderstood, they can correct it immediately.
Regarding the incentives, in fact, I did not see much relevant content in CH3&4, or mainly the construction of the curriculum, but I think that if there is no corresponding incentive mechanism, then the students are likely to quit halfway.
The video about Backwards Bicycle is very interesting, but I have a question, such as when you need to turn left, we will accustomed tilt to the left, but Backwards Bicycle requires people to tilt to the right that contrary to their own habits. I think if people learn Backwards Bicycle when they was young, they also will spend more time on backwards bicycle than normal bicycle.
