I think its not necessarily literally about war. In my opinion, it's just saying that when u practice something, when the time comes that u need to use what you practiced, you will suffer less. For example, if you practice hard work in everything you do, when a hard task comes, you do not find it as hard to work for it since you are used to giving it your all.

Divide your time used for effective practice into multiple daily practice sessions of limited duration 6. Practice in your brain in vivid detail

7. Practice at the edge of one's current ability

[@djine552]

And also I recommend to only learn 20 minutes at a time. After that you should take a break of at least 20 minutes. That's because the long memory can only affectively sort out about 20 minutes of information. After that the short time memory will take over and you are more likely to learn the mistakes you make and not the actual right way

Yes, because there aren't 10,000 kicks. In fact, there aren't more than a couple hundred maximum.

[@Broockle]

The one kick that is practiced 10000 times will be a more skilled kick than any of the 5000 kicks that you practiced twice. I believe the point of the saying is that you shouldn't spread you training too thin. If you get confused and you hesitate then you will lose the initiative.

You get 10-15 minutes break between classes which is the recommended break time. Edit: I have been asked a lot where I went to school. I went to a private high school in Maine, US. School ran from 8AM to 2PM (typically, unless you want to enroll in special interest classes hosted at 7AM and some evenings). Everyone get a 1.5-hour long lunch break with 10-15 minutes between each class. School ends at 2PM and you are encouraged to join clubs & extra-curricular afterschool. On most days, I came back home at around 4PM after clubs.

[@davegrenier1160]

I trained in a dojo in which the word "speed" was never spoken. We became faster naturally by repetition. We also didn't try to be faster, we just became faster without thinking about it. I realized this because the first time I saw higher-ranking students practicing there I was amazed at their speed. A few years later, I was one of those higher-ranking students, and it suddenly struck me one day that I was now one of those fast students I had observed earlier. All without giving speed a thought. I have also found that mental repetition of a task can program the body to perform that task without actual training. When I started climbing I "taught" myself to self-arrest (with an ice ax) by reading descriptions of the techniques in mountaineering books. I studied one book in particular. I never physically practiced. But the first time I slipped on a steep snow slope, I not only immediately self-arrested, but I saw the page on self-arrest from that particular book right in front of my face as I did it.

The importance of practising with good technique cannot be overstated - this is something I have learned recently when practising playing musical instruments, with regards to being aware of my Proprioception and using only the correct muscles/joints for the job, not involving incorrect muscles from elsewhere which give the superficial illusion of strength but actually just add tension and discourage building the correct muscles and thus prevent effective development. A saying I heard recently goes: "If you practise with incorrect technique, you'll practise really good at doing badly."

[@BarnieSnyman]

Very well said! As a pianist I'd like to add that bad technique not only greatly limits what one could accomplish, but can easily also lead to injuries, like tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. In severe cases, pianists completely lose the ability to play when they develop focal dystonia. As I understand it, this isn't so much a physical injury as much as it is your brain's wiring getting screwed up because of bad technique. Luckily I've never had anything more severe than sore hands for a few hours.

@dread true no in the sense that practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. So if you practice something with bad form you will have perfect bad form.

[@billcayemberg2104]

This is why an experienced teacher can help. They stop the bad habits before they become habits. Much more difficult to do later.

@Daniel kader fck the correct form ,, improvise the whole damn thing and impress people with it.

[@Merumya]

What he meant (I think) was: Practice correctly. Incorrect movement can be trained as well. When I train for a new skill (rope jumping right now) I focus on doing it as correctly as possible to strengthen that correct behaviour more than the incorrect one. Otherwise my body will adapt to bad form instead of good.

The best piece of advice I ever had on practicing was to focus on very specific tasks. As an example, if you are looking to learn how to play a song it's easy to start again from the beginning of the song when you screw up. You then become a master of playing the intro. Similarly, you might focus on playing the entire bar when you really might just want to focus on the chord changes. Isolate where you are weak, and practice on that to the exclusion of all else.

Taking time to practice really slow is super helpful. Yesterday I uploaded a video about me not being able to complete overkill in beatsaber. Today while practicing the map I got motivated to take some extra time and to put the speed down to 25% for the parts I often failed at. I slowly turned up the speed and in the end I could do most parts at full speed. All the effort I put into it in the past two weeks where I was trying to learn the song at 80% to 100% speed was way less effective. I was expecting to learn the movements by flailing my arms randomly and failing miserably. I never learned how to do it right. I still need more practice, but I now know how to practice 😇

Summarize: How to practice effective in anything? 1. Focus is the key, when you focus on the thing you do, you have chance to achieve a state of flow, which is make you action super effective 2. Good thing take time. You need to spend your time to practice fequently, the more time you spend on it, the better you become. Be patient! 3. Practice imagination Thanks TED for some useful information

4:13 yes it is so true. When I was learning some figure skating elements, I couldn't do the "3 turns" and I was losing my balance all the time because I had no time to go ice rink and practise the elements (2 hours per week). I So I was watching figure skating competitions and looking athletes' movements carefully about how they move with which part of their muscles at when and thinking/dreaming myself as if I was the athlete skating there and doing the movements carefully. I thought/dreamed that I was skating over and over again for only one element. One week later when I go to ice rink, I did it and I did so well that I was surprised. I didn't lost my balance. it was just perfect. And I showed the movement/element to a coach and she said I did great. I became very happy.😀❤⛸

[@liamcarneymusic]

Awesome story! I'm a competitive figure skater who has been skating nationally. Imagery training and mental training is HUGE in our sport. Especially in such a dangerous sport, we need to practice efficiently and effectively to not only protect ourselves but also others. Slat ing, and almost most other sports, go beyond the sport itself. I have done other activities ranging from all types of dancing, like ballet, tap, hip-hop, and more, as well as off-ice training such as Zumba, Yoga, etc. Psychology, Nutrition, rest, and so much more all to help you perform better. It takes a lot of work, but don't ever let others tell you that you can't do it. I work with a skater who is doing her jumps at 83 if she can do that I'm sure you can too. Just enjoy it, even if you're going competitive, just enjoy the ride. Cause its definitely a rollercoaster 😄

I think that there is a mental state you produce when you want to practice something. It's like a mental softness that helps us to relax and concentrate. When you do it, you must forget everything and everyone. You just try to calm down and subtly pratice that thing you want to get better. Of course silence is important too. I hope it helps someone.

[@ciannacoleman5125]

Keep in mind that studying academics and practicing are not necessarily the same thing. The major thing that translates between them is breaking it up through the day. Studies have shown you can only focus on studying between 30-50min at a time and the brain only needs a 5min break to reset. So break up your studying about every half hr with a 5 min walk around to retain more information.

[@tracesprite6078]

The strange thing is that, given how beneficial and rewarding practice can be, why do we have such a resistance to it?

because our brain is wired to stray away from exhausting, mental tasks that force our brain to work and think. Our brain ALWAYS wants the "easy tasks" and so we prefer watching Netflix on the sofa rather than practicing on something.

1. Get rid of distractions 2. Start out slowly. Do it in slow motion. Then slowly increase the speed 3. Do not forget to take breaks in between your practice session. Exhausted brain will not be able to focus much. 4. Practice in your mind. Imagine practicing in detail

[@LIOTBs]

In my studies of neurology, repetition encourages new neuronal growth forming new connections, thus hard-wiring the brain. This takes a minimal of 6 weeks to 6 months of repetition. When it comes to physical things (ex: throwing a ball) this hard-wiring is mostly done in the cerebellum. All the other advice is sound scientifically speaking.

+TED-Ed Sorry guys, but this time you are wrong: a) myelination does not make the axon more efficient but primarily speeds up signal transduction along the axon, due to the saltatoric excitation transmission mechanism. b) all activities you showed involved physical abilities and bodily motion. These are not controlled by the cerebrum, but primarily by the cerebellum, which has a different structure and works a little bit different. Goal of the endless hours of training is to automate these complex movements. That's something done in the cerebellum, not in the cereberum or even the cortex. If you need to think about, which key to press on the piano or which string to plug on the violin you'll fail miserably. And that's exactly why you need this repetitive training. If it comes to purely cerebral learning activities (cognitive learning) the mechanism of learning is completely different from what you described. Further are the myelin sheeths not just some lipid on the axon, but living Schwann cells. I highly doubt that they increase replication as a result of increased neural axon excitation (although that's not impossible and should be measurable). If you have a research paper on this I'd be pleased, as this would constitute a completely new view on learning.

[@DziegielDK]

Learning isn't about axon speed, but strengthening the connections between neurons. If you want to know more about learning try looking up "Long term potentiation/depression (LTP/LTD)" and Schwann cells only exist in the peripheral nervous system. Myelin is made by Oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system.

[@frankschneider6156]

+DziegielDK You are absolutely right, why you think I wrote "If it comes to purely cerebral learning activities (cognitive learning) the mechanism of learning is completely different from what you described" ? We call that Hebb's law or Hebb's learning and that's exactly what's wrong with this video. Myelination has a massive effect on neural signal transduction speed, as becomes evident when it gets damaged as in multiple sclerosis, but is (at least to my best knowledge) not related in any way to learning, hence the critic of the video.

[@DziegielDK]

It was more the previous part of your statement that confused me: "That's something done in the cerebrum, not in the cerebellum or even the cortex". It is true that the cerebral cortex (motor cortex) sends the information to the muscels who perform the movement, but the cerebellum plays a big part in this. Its role is to assure that the motion is excecuded properly and is adjusted whenever their execution fails to meet expectations (where motor learning happens).

[@ssccdd2006]

I was scratching my head after watching the video: How can any discussion about learning omit entirely synaptic plasticity? I agree that a connection between changes in myelination and learning would be new... to me at least ---although I am no expert in this stuff.

[@kscsk8ers]

motor movements and coordination i.e, "physical abilities and bodily motion" are actually controlled by the cerebellum, not the cerebrum. Other than that you are right, they completely left out the fact that myelin speeds nerve communication via saltatory conduction
