The Kuma Brain Type - Memory and Retention 

Where my Kumas at? 🐼 If you haven't discovered your brain type, take the 2 minute quiz here! ➔ www.cajunkoi.com/braintype

Kumas actually have a lot of strengths, sadly our society shame us for taking it slow n call it procrastination :( but hopefully we become more confident n respect our own pace 💪

“Knowledge is power: You hear it all the time, but knowledge is not power. It's only potential power. It only becomes power when we apply it and use it.” - Jim Kwik

I got equal As and Cs on the test and here I am after getting to know about both of the clubs. Initially, I decided to go with 'Tora' as said in the test video but after watching 'Kuma' video I want to say that this test must be highly, highly carefully curated and crafted as I feel I am equally both. I am 'Toraically Kuma' I am really grateful for Cajun Koi Academy 🙌💛

This hit me in so many ways. I can say that this is very accurate for me as a Kuma who got like 8 Cs. People around me think that I don't get stressed or depressed about anything because I just go with the flow and never shown an excessive good nor bad emotions. But deep inside, I worry alot about myself that I feel like I'm being left out in terms of learning even though I'm not. During a break, I don't study anything but I overthink how my peers are probably being productive (like doing self study) while I'm just staying in my bed. I'm in the first like class all the time but I still worry a lot by myself without anyone knowing. Though it's a good thing for me to have a delusional motivation so I can be productive even by a bit.😂

Really lovee how this channel is turning out. I feel like I'm in an anime or smthng but at the same time, learning how to be much more productive! U guys are starting something big.

Understanding my learning type has made the biggest difference in my progress over just a few months, love these amazing videos that get me energized and actually enjoy learning❤️

When someone told me that progressed really slowly... The words resonate in me. Rather than feeling depressed, I was able to laugh at myself when I know how I thrive. Because I'm a kuma. I do feel bad about myself sometimes, but I pray a lot, trust the process, and helping others in need as much as I need to be helped with my bumpy journey. Cheers. Thank you for the explanation ☺️

Kuma way is iteration. You learn in your pace, with microbreaks after each point/fact identified as important to note & remember. You let it sink in. You make it a title of a page of data. Then you repeat it in mind, sorting things you already remember & understand and you iterate the same material again for all points that flew away from your attention earlier also solidifying what was learned earlier. This is that consistency. Multilayered picture. In this type you gain confidence with completeness of what you learned. You learn slower but for a solid as rock memory. And gaining solid points to which you anker next information building one wider context. You focus picking up the important points, precisely these you for sure want to remember well as if your memory was limited & weak. You pick what you are afraid to forget. Because remembering these builds up your confidence and it's like a river source or mile stones. It creates an array structuring & ankers whole material around them and you build larger relational connections between these like bridges. You also need to repeat thing learnt in next days but will longer and longer pauses between repeats. Your superpower is refreshing well remembered knowledge and later it crystallizes for whole life, easily triggered by these milestones, main themes. I think here is also a difference on gender line. Woman have better memory in general (I think it by taking every fact in more emotionally packed way) while men focus on relations between facts & chaining information together, building logical connections and categorising, fitting similar things in boxes. Or maybe these are two diff sides of the same process. Hard part here is brain laziness & deception. It likes to fake focus & need to stay vigilant keeping own system. When you think something is simple than you don't put enough attention to it and brain skips it. With next iteration you notice how your brain focused on most important things it was scared to miss while missed these things you thought were easy to remember and obvious. These similar things are most scary actually, becoming invisible to attention in a way. So this consistency is also about putting equal average effort to every important milestone no matter if you think you already get it or if it seems new & difficult. Repeats must be complete also. Selecting all important facts but treating each equally in amount of attention payed to it, without shortcuts. Finding this stable tempo flow. It may require mixing topics or exploring other side's of the same concept to not let attention go asleep but also not get disturbed distracted. Moving body, walking, changing position, humming, making hand gestures, breathing deeply with stomach are some of methods.

I was never a fast learner and was always the last one to understand about the typic what my lecturer is talking about. I find it hard to understand theories because of the nature of wondering why, how, what? I think too much and when I can't understand, I tend to blame myself for being stupid, and get sad and stuffy just because of self-criticizing. That one time when I got 2/10 on my very first test, I thought about giving up on everything I'm leaning to just because of I thought I wasn't trying hard enough to achieve something like the others do. But soon after, I found this video popping up on my recommendation and immediately clicked it without any second thought, and yessss, that one click solved my ' I'm such a slow learner, more like a stupid airhead' nonsense. I'm really indeed grateful for you guys for creating the quiz and uploading it. I am a slow learner but rather a smart slow learner, I guess.

The genshin impact back drop is just priceless..😂😅 And also the way you guys helped identify my brain type and making me feel good about myself is something I'd like to thank you for❤

I matched Tora but had a tie with Kuma and Kitsune. So I wanted to see what the other neurobiological categories were. Im positively suprised how different the 3 videos are because I can relate to little things in this video, but I related to everything in the Tora video haha. This is good content!

I am very self critical. Everything I do I am quite aware of, but not always immediately. I have been in a bad spot where I had some serious depression episodes, but I learned to accept that about myself. I love doing sports with friends so I often use that go get back my energy and become more motivated. Friendship is a powerful thing. It overcame my big sad and let me accept myself to the point where I am happy with myself

This was highly accurate ngl. I absorb lots of info and tend to process that info at a slower rate than others. That explains why I always perform better at the end of the year

Being Kuma sucks sometimes... Especially if I can't find a motivation to get going...

Well we'll now I understood why my coworkers told me that I work slower than others (I work at a restaurant business where the stress and intensity are high). I used to be super sad when being criticized about this. But then, when a new colleague came in, I helped him a lot with works and trainings that he felt very grateful to be trained by me. Now I know how to work more efficiently in my own pace. I don't like to be stressed and I like to work on my own pace. So relatable to this video!!!

Feeling left behind when everyone is excelling hit really hard for me. I always felt stupid which would cause me to avoid anything related to it, even if I knew that's what I wanted to do. I have some Tora traits too but Kuma is my main. I hope all you Kumas are doing okay!

I'm a post-grad Kuma and I can't believe how accurate these recommendations are for me. Thank you so much for this level of help. I need to have a successful semester and I will implement these suggestions.

I was skeptical at first since the quiz had responses that didn't totally match me, But this describes me really well, I used to fail alot of my studies for quite a long time in the past, and I usually only do productive things in the night and all of my bad habits in the day, I am slowly improving and my grades have seen a huge improvement after a few events.

I liked how after watching all three types I could see parts I have of each. Being accepting of that, I could better understand myself and improve which is the goal

I am a Kitsune, but I share many traits with a Kuma and a Tora. The fact that there are playlists for the three will help me a lot before next year classes. Keep up the great work!

Im a kuma, but im quite energetic and sometimes i am sensitive to stimulations. But everything else is so right im scared. Well done guys youve done an amazing program

Understanding why i behave the way i do and learning that i am not alone in following such behavioural patterns makes me feel at ease. Thank you!

I've been waiting for this, thank you so much!!

The anime/game like environment you have created is so motivaiting. Thank you for sharing this concept of brain types for studying it's very helpful 🌟

I usually dont write comments in RU-vid, it’s rare or in cases that friends of mine post something, but i have to write on how good was to find this RU-vid channel and here i am 3 vídeos later, 2 in the morning listening for one of the best self reflection video that i already seen in my life. That Kuma thing described me like 100% and now im going to sleep because i found what was keeping me awake. Thank you!!

Truely helpful as always captain!💕

😱 SO TRUE!!!! Thank you so much guys this is so insightful, and I look forward to applying this information more to my future studies. Much appreciated!

The level to which I related to the kuma description is actually insane. Great video and analysis.

A Kitsune can always benefit from a Kuma, because they start the assignments earlier to not fall behind, that force Kitsunes to be there and focus to do the work and the best part is there's no chance for procrastination. The Kumas can benefit from the faster learning of Kitsune, having a someone that can help when they feel lost. That's my point of view being a Kitsune, hope it makes sense 😅

Wow that is so accurate to me it describes my personality perfecly. For example i know what i am suppose to do but i find it hard to get motivated enough. But if push through and get the momentum even i'm amazed how productive i get. Thax for the vedio

New rookie in the Tora club here and I admire the work you guys do. As a junior doctor in the middle east its both refreshing and motivating to watch your videos, especially when i need a pick me up. I love the study hall (and wish you make more videos of similar type). I wanted to thank the academy for all its efforts and hope you keep up the great work.

Amazing video as always

You really spoke to me, Sir. It's my first day here, and i am subscribing with all my Heart, I want to work on my Kuma level.

As a Kuma with ADHD I especially relate to the stress management aspect of this video 😬

I like this video so much!! Literally feel the flow of the video match with my Kuma mind. I choose to study with you!!🤩🙌 Thank you for this video❤It encourages me a lot.

Wow! Thank you for this info 🙏

Thank you for making this video😊It helps me understand myself a lot. It has always been hard for me to suddenly find the motivation to do something. It takes a lot of time for me to actually study, and I usually just delay it. But when I actually do, I just do better than others (one of my best friends even said: "How do you get such good grades when I never saw you studying?"🤣) I found myself to be strange, thinking I was being inefficient when my friends studied hard every day. I tried to change but to no avail. Nothing seemed to click and I became depressed. Then I saw this video and figured out I am not strange, there are people like me. I was able to accept myself and tried study methods that actually work for me. Once again, thank you so much for making this video. It motivates me a lot! Best wishes for you!🥰🥰🥰

i just discovered your channel and have been binging your videos. your content is so so good! the concept of the academy and the clubs really have helped me figure out my learning style. the editing and the music is incredibly immersive and helps with retaining attention & focus (ADHDer here!) i have the confidence to become even a better learner in general thanks to your videos! can't wait for more :) thank you so so much for these videos ❤️❤️❤️

I was waiting for this video... Coz mine was resonating with Kuma the most ....thank u so muchhh

The production of your videos is unbelievable, it is like a sci-fi movie Very impressed by your work. Keep it up

OMG!! this was so accurate i mean i got like 4 bs and 5 cs but i did not expect it to check all the boxess, although one thing i found myself different is that, i am over excited and super enthusiastic but yess that too when the momentum builds so yea thanks alot for amking such a good videoo.. keep up the goood workk!!

this is so true and has worked for me even the routine and eating part thanks

This is super helpful!! TY :)

Matched, I am following your tips for Kuma's which you told in pomodoro masterclass. Very helpful. I am now blessed with productivity. 🐼 😂😜

This video just described me everything is so relatable man

I scored mostly into the Kuma Category, it makes perfect sense to me now why my responses are much slower than most peoples.

Finding out how much my neurobiology effects my focus has been a GAME changer I loveeeee these video’s

I’m early 🤩 love these videos! Thank you captains!

Dang I have ADHD and am kind of a mixture of Kitsune and Kuma. But the issue is if I use the Kitsune method I get overwhelmed and overstimulated, but I also don't have the ability to be overly methodical and if I give myself too much of a break I just won't do anything. I'm fast learner like a Kitsune and have the ability to be very energetic but I can also bevery easy going and struggle with motivation. I have a will to learn but am also not easily engaged so if something is too slow or boring I'll just get distracted but I also can't do something fast paced because I can't keep up. Elementary school was pretty easy for me because I have a natural affinity for understanding things but now that I'm in highschool I still have no reliable time management skills and consistently get overwhelmed during the school year because I can't keep up with the work. My grades barely stay afloat because I always do good on tests. An I have a hard time on homework too because despite the fact that I understand the work I either spend most of the time distracted and get nothing done or just end up being so exhausted by the end of the day of me also not finishing anything, that I don't do it at all and procrastinate on it. All this to say I have ADHD and I need help.

I watched all 4 videos of this series. The result I got from the quiz video was Kitsune, but I feel like Kuma sounds a lot more like me. I have the curiosity like a Kitsune sure, but for the most part, Kuma gang is my clan. Likely means that I wasn't completely honest with myself xD Great videos thos, guys. I'll be sure to check some of the others too!

This channel helped me a lot. Am a kuma. Being a slow learner, i compare myself with others. When i score less and others score well, I used to criticise myself a lot. Now I understood, I have the potential to rise as well . Thank you Mike and Matty🙏. Am so grateful ❤

I always struggled in school, I am very patient slow to anger, I don’t get angry when I get hurt, I’m very caring, this basically described me to the T

Right now this video just told me every thing now where I just graduated and all my classmates are doing something and I feel so discouraged and feel like I am falling behind all of other in my age. Thank you for making me feel like I have a potential to actually do something in this life.

Heyy thanks so much 😭😭I'm am a Kuma and I was looking for tips to study better this really helps ❤❤❤❤

Highly disiplined student. Sir, you know not the bounds of my procrastination.

this is literally meeeeee... wow! tysm for this insight!

Thaknyou so much this actually helped me a lot understand myself

I am mindblown ! Finally and explanation!

4:05 this. i wish i saw this video a year ago from today. i was always an above average student but last year, i did very bad in my mid terms & since then i just .. kinda lost it. i didnt feel like i could do it anymore. but seeing this video makes me understand myself more. very helpful !

I feel so understood!

I feel called out especially in the Stress Management lol

Thanks a lot guys

I love this kind of categorizing someone habit. I know it's one of the worse of three. But I am trying to fix my bad habits. I'm actually sometimes a slow learner and just laughed at my quiz results. I often don't follow what others believe, I often to differ my opinion base on what I know and understand. Often my freinds think that I am the less intelligent. But in reality I also see them as not intelligent even they are smarter than I am. But I am willing to learn and to reflect to my mistake. I also have to start a good sleep, diet and not I am actually taking a brain vitamins that helps me a lot right now. I am actually sometimes consistent just a year ago. During my first year in college. I wasn't really afraid to answer surprised questions by our teachers. I was actually surprised to notice that whenever I was being group with smart people they actually feel like they are comfortable with me. Since I am not afraid to explain Infront of everyone. I am glad, my advice is to never be discouraged. Just so happened that during second semester of my first year I was so discouraged that I slack and look dumb on my one report that led me to loss motivation to continue what I was doing. Always be ready on your report and avoid using social media.

Thanks! I apparently match the Kuma club. Not fully, but to the biggest part (sry for my crappy english lol)

Happy to be here. Consistent movement

Thank you❤

this is so helpfull and scary at the same time. It feels like you know me man. Damn thanks for these tips!

This is funny, it actually happened to me yesterday that all of my nearest friends got exonerated from math's final test and I didn't, even though I tried SO hard for it. I was so frustrated by it I couldn't study correctly the day before and the test was really hard.

How are u being able to describe my entire study life, I literally fail every first test in high school until I saw people getting higher grades and enjoying their success, It felt like I wasn't doing enough!!!! I got me really stress out seeing that it was the only way to get actual motivation

I feel like this resonates with my brain type , I worry too much and I cant talk or think when I am stressed, I am going to try fixing these problems step by step! 😬

When the talk about stress management came I felt like this was for me personally as before I wasn’t sure if this was my type but guess it’s slow and steady for me.

I took the brain test twice and finally decided that I belong to the KUMA club and after watching this video I am absolutely certain that I chose the right club

My guy casually described every aspect of my life from educational to personal and I'm honestly just impressed.

Love the rebrand

It was so true that i found it Weird😂, you are really great, and thank you😁

3:50 at this moment i cried cuz i remember that time when i left my coaching center in the embarrassment of falling behind i was so ashamed to be a loser i feel like I'll never be good like I'm not good enough 😭 and that's the reason i don't like to work in group

I first did the test and got Tora the video on Toras scared me so I redid the test and now I'm finally feeling at home😂

Who are these people. Why only 990 likes guys? Is this just done for youtube strangers. No wayy . It takes lots of efforts and hardwork which is clearly visible. The quality of content that is provided by Cajun Koi Academy, Much respect people. Keep Going.

I feel like this guys has dug all information about me and my personality

This is really accurate and honestly whenever i do not BAD on an exam i calm myself and think ill do better next time, but as soon as i see my friends get better grades than me i just get worried and question everything i did, its just a wierd feeling i dont want to say jealousy bc i love my friends and i also dont want to be that type of person that dosent want to see his friends succseed bc hes jealous , and i also get really worried when it gets dark outside and im still not finished with my work and im just overthinking it like what if i didn't do good on this exam,what if i fail😢

Very good video, but i feel like the part where we are taught how to learn better with our brain type was kinda forgotten. Anyways, hello to all my fellow kuma's, i know life is probably hard for you especially in studies, but try and keep a good mindset, you will find your way and become great ;)

Hey, so I have a suggestion! I think it would be interesting to delve into the Myers-Briggs personality stuff and correlate that back to the system you have here! I think it might just reach a slightly wider demographic! I say this cause I'm an INFJ type and I found a video about how a lot of us can be slow learners, and it made me remember this and how I also tested as a Kuma type. So it made me think about which types might likely fall into different categories here. Just a thought!

Man i was just bamboozled coz all the things said in this video actually describes my personal life and routine. I as a Kuma prefer to stay hidden with my eyes and ears open and my damn mouth shut close. And i prefer to be more of an observer than a forward student (but i will talk in situations that i need to talk) I dont show my true potential coz of 2 reasons :One being that I am afraid that somebody would get hurt and the other being that i care less about my true potential

I thought I was Kuma but when I heard that kumas can go a full day without eating food( 3:14 ) I realized I’m not a kuma 😂

The big endurance thing for me is not like sitting down and focusing as in mental power to fight distractions for hours, but endurance as in never fully quitting. I am basically the most patient person I know. I am verrry slow to working at goals but I never give up (besides looking at easier alternatives or just getting bored of the goal). I can work on the same thing for years and never quit. BUT that is an issue. Many goals I want to get done fast but I am too chill to the point where they are always in my mind but never done. I basically have zero sense of urgency. So yeah I do have the stamina to never quit and keep calm but I don't have the motivation to actually get to work. When I do learn something new I must learn all the details! Also once I take a break from something it will be a long one. I always had these big swings where I have an amazing study streak, then I take a break a little too long and cant get started again for weeks or months or years depending on how tedious I feel it is. I would say I am just slightly more Kuma than Kitsune but it is pretty close and I have my Tora moments too. Really I think by nature Kuma is a bit of everything but instead of more motivation it is more patience instead. Kuma's probably find themselves more of everything vs others. Differences: I would not really describe me as disciplined and consistent except for short periods of times typically not lasting more than a couple months. My productivity curve kind of has a mind of its own still trying to figure it out. My definition of Kuma's endurance is probably different from some others. I don't really care about others test scores more just overall goal and life progress.

I did a test from this channel, and the test said I was a tora, the test wasn't completely wrong since I'm very passionate about music but the other traits of tora doesn't match with my personality so I watched the other two videos about Kitsune and Kuma. And I figured out that I'm actually a kuma, this video literally described my personality lol, but as you've said, we have all 3 focus natures, one is primary the others are secondary. My Tora nature lights up when I'm making music but my kuma nature is the primary/strongest nature.

for sure didnt expect to match almost every thing mentioned on video. Damn

I am a Kuma and every word he told completely described me

I just watched all 3 clubs and I am not in 1 particular group. I learn fast but sometimes I try to study for an entire test in 1 go and when I'm at the end of the chapter I forgot the first paragraph. I never give up, it is a thing that burned me out. this year I failed the first tests and when I saw everyone else get good grades I felt bad, I tried to do better and failed again. this went on until Christmas, the last week before holiday I was in so much pain, because of that I decided to take a step down. also if I work in groups and I'm the only one who works it really frustrates me, but I let it go and do it myself because I don't wanna snitch but also don't wanna fail. this is at school, but also at work and people noticed it and told me to stand up for myself but that is hard. I'm a calm person, sometimes people are yelling at me and I just listen, and react calm. I found out that staying calm works better in an argument than yelling back. but last year I found it harder and harder to stay calm. in an argument with my co-worker I was mad, I didn't yell but I wasn't as calm as I used to and the other co-workers (who all agreed with me in that argument) had never seen me that mad. I probably forgot a few other things but I think it is clear that all these things don't fit in one club. maybe if I saw these vids a year ago I din't f*ck this year up but I can't change that. I learned it the hard way. thnx for the vids!

bro explained me in first few seconds 🙃

I am a Kuma, I retain information easily enough to accomplish and pass assignments with, if I may say, ease and over-achieving the standards all the time. ❤🌊🌊🌊🌊

This is so relatable!!

Why is this video accurately describing me🥺❤. My goodness

Everything is just like me. So relatable😊

First it’s mbti now my brain type, why are all the points always so accurate

I am glad that I am getting to know myself 😊

Love your videos!

Wow, everything they have said is actually true Like I'm 90 percent Kuma and do get worried when I don't do well in an exam but people don't seem to see it because I'm always calm
