A Survey for
Internet-based Lessons |
In the interests of science - a
two minute survey on clothing for earning and grading |
I want to teach the very traditional
Chinese martial art of Chen Family style Tai Chi Chuan to people |
with autism spectrum disabilities and
similar conditions like cerebral palsy. They will get better |
physical health, an inclusive social
group, and life goals in the form of performance-based college |
BAs and MAs. Their parents and
physicians will get a daily digital stream of scores to serve as
a |
statistical anchorpoint for making
decisions about diet, sleep, medications and logistics. If the
Tai Chi |
Chuan scores go up, whatever changed was
righteous. However, people in that population are a very |
tough teach, and there are many of them
who want to or need to be students. That means instructing over |
the internet. The plan now is to embed a
few dozen location sensors in a garment like the Pi Sha so we
can |
use software to compare a student's
(digital) movements to those of a canonical recording by a
grandmaster. |
Here is the one long compilation or four
short videos doing more or less the same movements but dressed |
in different clothing. Note: the
lavender silks were not my choice - blame the cinematographer. |
There are two questions: |
(1) if
you wanted to LEARN a martial art which clothing makes that
easiest? |
(2) if
you had to GRADE a student performance which clothing makes that
easiest? |
If you happen to
be disabled or have any martial arts experience you want to
share that would be cool. |
