Blog 22: Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
-So what i am most proud of in my Senior presentation is that i was able to make an activity from my thirty minute...that only pertained to my first answer, and develop it i not an activity that had connection into every one of my answers. In the end i believe that my main point for reflex and impulse in a fight was proven correct through my activity and it showed the audience my reasoning.


(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

  P

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

  P

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
-For me what worked was making connections. In research, I had to find the core values of Gracie Jiu JHiutsu and use what i found as a model for my GJJ research. I had the trouble of finding sources and so when I lost specific Gracie sources that pertained to my topic, i had to use their core beliefs and find even more research and use only the ones that reflected GJJ.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?
-So for me what probably didn't work would be the action of my activity. I assumed that it would take more time due to the struggle people had in West house in my 30 minute but surprisingly most people got it fairly easy. Other than that, my lecture went well and my slides worked too. Nothing other than that.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.
 -So as I mentioned in my lecture i have two products that i am most proud of and make me take action into the community. In my own Senior Project and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, i am currently filming evaluations to receive my blue belt. From that accolade, i can officially teach in class and am a quarter of the way done to becoming a a black belt. My second product goes back to my roots, Kajukenbo. When i left my studio to learn Kajukenbo i was a junior black belt and my professor called me a junior black belt. I hope to return and teach the students what i learned in jiu-jitsu and become a jiu-jitsu specific instructor and assistant in that school. I have a tournament for Kajukenbo in July in which i will participate in Jiu-Jitsu qualifying. My overall universal product would be respect and brotherhood. Through my project i learned that a fight can be instantaneous. that a fight should not be to show dominance but to survive and it is with that that i valued the fighters right next to me. Sure we can beat each other up and have rivalries on the mat but out there, in the real world is weher it counts. Its in the real world where a fight doesn't have to stop and its why i learned to respect and protect those that need it.
