The fundamental 'Dragon-Squat'
'Bipedal' locomotion: foundational patterns & conditioning
•
1m 15s
THE WHAT & HOW:
A static form whose investment begins by developing mobility capacities and conditioning in the lower-body, but ultimately serves as a fundamental 'zero point' through which to transition in bipedal locomotive practice.

'Open-hip knee-kiss' & Elevated 'Toe-...
THE WHAT:
Here the concept of an 'open-hip' (i.e. hip-extension) initiated from the squat position is explored in both unilateral ('Knee-kiss') and bilateral ('Toe-rock') contexts. From a capacity-development perspective, the toes are exposed to loading in their maximally extended position, and w... -
'Low-gait' Squat (LGS) development
THE WHAT:
'Low-gait': the bipedal world between standing and floor-entrance. These drills focus on the "deepest" range from which floor-entrance is most accessible - if the experience and mobility capacities are available. Whilst consistent practice of these drills will help DEVELOP those ranges,... -
FS (front-side) LG (low-gait) spin
THE WHAT:
A charming little bipedal context for maneuvering and locomoting through space, the 'Low-gait spin' (front-side) is ultimately a progressive, rotational pivot performed on the BALL of the foot. Notice that the most significant challenges here is related to BALANCE. In working on this, t...
