Due to a series of events, I wasn’t able to go to class, BUT I did have the opportunity to watch the Clark Gracie seminar on Google +
Before viewing I hoped my reaction would be a whole lot of this:
…That’s an impressed and intrigued look, btw. Hooray for webcams!
and very little this:
Definitely not impressed.
For the most part the webinar succeeded: the “Google Hangout” was a little delayed, and the interview bit in the beginning was a little long, as it took up nearly half of the seminar. It wasn’t that the conversation wasn’t interesting: truth be told I know very little of Clark Gracie, but I am also aware how sometimes a technique can take some time to describe.
The moves looked fun, but as someone who needs to watch and then do a particular technique to truly understand, that’s really all it was, fun. It looks like it’s going to become a regular thing with Graciemag, so if you have Google+ account and some free time on your hands on a Wednesday, I would say check out one of them.
In the meantime if anyone needs me, I’ll be in the Google+ science community, reading articles and geeking out. Oh yeah!
