Aesopian, are you familiar with Bloom's Taxonomy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonom...nal_Objectives
It is a theory (or system) that sounds completely intuitive on first reading, but is fairly complex to execute fully. The basic idea is to take students from passive learning to complete mastery. Bloom wanted eventual mastery in three areas: the emotional being (or personal connection), the physical (psychomotor mastery), and the intellectual (terminology, therories, history, etc).
Obviously Bloom's Taxonomy can be incorporated into the systems you've outlined.
The basic idea is this, starting at the bottom and working up:
At the beginning the student
remembers the data: "Ok, for a kimura my right hand goes here, my left here." Introduction.
Eventually they
understand why it works like it does. During the Isolation period.
They begin to
apply it in Integrated situations.
Finally, after developing all three domains (affective, physical, cognitive), they are able to analyze, evaluate, and create (techniques, strategies, etc).
I'm going for my teaching cert. and always liked Bloom's thinking. Thought it might be worth a look.
for what they do but younger fellas sometimes still have work to appreciate their sport and many think that means keep the 'thinking and planning' to the coach.
