QDR isometric hold
BAS push (horizontal & lateral)
•
1m 17s
THE WHAT & HOW:
The 'QDR' ('queda de rins'/"elbow on the kidneys") is an upper-body support predominantly used in the practice of Capoeira for catching a fall/evasive manoeuvre, and transitioning through a range of dynamic forms.
Whilst it is essentially a very efficient support in that the bodyweight is rested on the VERTICAL support of the forearm (i.e. in alignment with the skeletal structure) with the elbow against the hard side of the PELVIS, it requires significant investment to develop the STRUCTURAL AWARENESS for this potential to be realised.

THE WHAT:
Contexts for developing unilateral pushing mechanics, patterning, and capacity using the more unstable modality of the gymnastics rings. These exercises are all characterised as ANTI-rotational (AR) patterns, requiring a sustained effort to keep the shoulders & hips in horizontal alignm... -

THE WHAT:
Contexts for developing an understanding of floor-based unilateral pushing in the horizontal plane. Focus is on differentiation between ROTATIONAL (RO) and ANTI-ROTATIONAL (AR) intention. Whilst the former, 'RO', is more efficient (it allows for & works with the body's natural tendency ...
