Episode 121: Rafe Kelley

Merry Christmas, to all who celebrate it!This week, an energetic conversation with Rafe Kelley - martial artist, movement expert, natural parkour pioneer, and founder of Evolve.Move.Play. Rafe is legendary in natural movement circles, and seemed a great person to banter with about aspects of movement development, exercise, and play. Here, we touch upon:

• Rafe's path from anthropology to gymnastics and parkour
• The connection between movement, meaning, and well-being
• The limits of machine metaphors, as applied to human bodies
• The value of constraint-based teaching and learning
• Why efficiency is more important than novelty in training

...and a great deal more. Hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did.
