An paradign referring to a conceptual method of analyzing learning that compares learning to a technical career and the responsibilities of that career.

Comments:

This paradigm is illustrated as follows:

a.A practitioner with the ability to break down, analyze, reassemble, and generate Base Moves - is referred to as a Mechanic of Motion.

b.A practitioner with the abilities of Mechanic of Motion, who can also effectively talk about and discuss motion, yet has not internalized the motion to the point of using it extemporaneously - is referred as a Salesman of Motion (a.k.a. Paper Tiger).

c.A practitioner with the abilities of a Salesman of Motion, who can also internalize, explain, and effectively teach motion - is referred to as a Technician of Motion.

d.A practitioner with the abilities of a Technician of Motion, who can also formulate unique principles, concepts, ideas, rules, definitions, and actions from motion - is referred to as an Engineer of Motion.

The purpose of this analogy is to help the  practitioner recognize at what level they have learned kenpo, and to establish a path and goal for the practitioner to obtain through their continued examination and exploration of motion.
