View this post on Instagram ‘PRACTICE’ & SIDE EFFECTS: In a continued effort to define some of commonly used terminologies in the field of Movement Culture (for both the sake of universal clarity and potentially smelling my own bullshit), the difference between ‘practice’ and ‘training’ seems to call for attention again and again. That the former features in my logo and the latter something I have been doing for over half of my life is reason to dig a little deeper. . To train: to grow something in a desired way. To practice: to perform or do habitually or usually. These two stripped-back definitions currently satisfy my use of the terms on both macro and micro levels (a good indication of a valuable heuristic); micro on the level of individual actions, macro in terms of over-arching perspective. They are also in alignment with an idea I share often with students: the “side-effect”. It follows from a perspective of “de-ambition”, an entire area of practice to itself. . In “growing something in a desired way” (training), the goal is specific. For many years I trained to develop muscular size, definition, proportion and symmetry in relation to a specific ideal, and moving from there attributes such as strength and mobility. It is clear that well-calculated training works when the orientation is the specific; but when the orientation is the general? When the orientation is Movement? It became necessary for me to take a softer focus, to de-ambition, to practice because of practice and not because of a desired side-effect. . Whilst there lies a training history behind my physicality and physical potential, in cultivating a ‘practice’ I have begun to understand the difference between actions that serve YOU, and SERVING actions. Whilst I still train, training is now a TOOL and not the goal. A softer focus allows for more general investment across a wider practice and it is a liberating feeling. Not least so that in the act of practice, the side-effects come for free ? . . . Photography @claudiorojasvargas ?? A post shared by Jason Round (@movemoremp) on Nov 3, 2019 at 3:34am PST
