Hi There,
I thought about posting this awhile ago, but held back for whatever reason.
I'm currently a grad student in Claremont and after working this Summer to get a research proposal approved- I finally got it: Will complex 3D activity (10thP JJ) increase "working memory" more than cardio-based (run/cycle) exercise?
(Working Memory = the part of short-term memory that is concerned with immediate conscious perceptual and linguistic processing; It's highly correlated with fluid intelligence ==> May help people in many areas ranging from important daily tasks to life span.)
Here's the original paper with findings I'm aiming to replicate (http://tinyurl.com/he437ex), moving from a wrestling-based 8-week training program (Three 1-hour sessions per week for 8 weeks; beginners) to a 10thP-based treatment group focusing on the warmup sets and more technical training/rolling.
My proposal was approved, so now I can begin recruiting people, finalizing the schedule (we have 1/2 a wrestling mat here at a campus gym), and working towards finding evidence that there's unique/important cognitive benefits to training jiu jitsu compared to other more popular activities.
If anyone has any input/advice/caution/objections it would be great to hear from you. I can certainly use all of the help I can get.
Fortunately, I've been able to stop by at Orange, Riverside, Corona, and Whittier to learn a bit from the great teachers nearby. (I'm about 50 minutes from each) I'd love to train with one of them or at HQ and potentially will make it a priority to get over at least 2X a week once I can predict my schedule with the sessions mentioned above.
With everybody's approval, I'd like to help make this happen while keeping up with training for myself. I want to put in the work to build a small school someday. Moreover, if we end up with this kind of evidence I think we're doing a great thing and it's just another reason to love jitz.
