Articles

Articles are signed pages: one person writing about a subject from experience rather than assembling it from sources. An article can be anything worth a considered opinion — how to attack a particular weakness, what a technique actually asks of you, why a piece of common advice is wrong, what changed someone's training and what did not. Every page here carries its author's name at the top, and that name is the point.

They sit outside the wiki on purpose, because they run on a different trust model. A wiki page earns trust by citing a public source for each claim, and anyone can correct it. An article earns trust by carrying its author's name. That is the whole model: if you trust the person who wrote it, the page is worth your time, and if you do not, it is not. Judge it on the name, and on whether it holds up against your own training.

Because they are opinions, expect them to disagree with each other eventually, and to disagree with how you already train. Nothing here overrides the wiki's sourced pages on Fundamentals or Categories; an article is one person's reading of that material, not a correction to it.

Articles¶

• The Metronome Method: finding your own tempo, reading accuracy to know when to raise it, and using the beat as a reference rather than a trigger.
• Weakness Targeted Static Flowchart: point at any node of the chart to see it move, and the branch I do not follow.

Writing one¶

Articles are written by this site's maintainer. Authorship is not open to contributors, so open an issue on the source repository rather than a pull request that adds one. Corrections to a published page, such as a factual error, a dead link, or a typo, are welcome from anyone; anything touching the argument itself goes to the author, because the byline has to keep meaning what it says.

The wiki is the opposite: it is open to contributions, and CONTRIBUTING covers how to add or change a page there.
