From : “I’m planning to teach this guy in my dojo how to think in principles, instead of how to think in terms of atomic techniques.”
This is an incredible experiment. I can’t wait to hear what happens.
Why?

Because what he’s trying to do is to teach ‘far transfer’ — one of the most difficult things to teach in pedagogy!
If he figures out something that works, I’d be all ears.

I'd be very interested to hear how it turns out! The folks at BJJ Mental Models are trying to do something that sounds similar for principles-based pedagogy for jujitsu- may be of interest, if you're not already familiar

Wow I totally disagree with this.
What you want are principles that are synthesised from practice. Here’s one, but for Judo (members only): kljudo.com/members/the-ar

That's very interesting. I really like those- I can see how they'd provide both a set of heuristics for what to do in the "ah, shit, what now" moment, and a framework for understanding what techniques are actually for.
