Patrick Parker's teaching tips

Judo and Aikido instructor Patrick Parker blogs faster than I can read, and not only that, the quality is great. Thanks!

I am creating this post as a mini-index of some of his teaching tips that I have either already applied, or intend to get to one day:

General Organization

• Principle of the month

Throwing techniques

• Practicing throws in response to particular partner postural events

Groundwork randori

• Change the rules to encourage flow
  

Food for thought

• Josh Waitzkin interview: Chess, Taijiquan, and BJJ
• John Perkins: Review of "Attack Proof"
• Tai sabaki in karate: Fabulous exhibition of fluidity and evasion
• Summary of Feldenkrais Principles

I am sure that there are many other gems in Patrick's back catalogue; I'll note the one's that especially inspire me as I uncover them.
