Low-gait locomotion: 'Travelling Pu-Bu' & 'Pass'
'Bipedal' locomotion: foundational patterns & conditioning
•
2m 18s
THE WHAT:
Two basic low-gait patterns incorporating the 'pu-bu/drop-stance' position. It should be performed with great deliberation & awareness toward weight-shifting (the movement of your centre of mass through space over your 2x bases of support, your legs), and a desire for quality (i.e. knowing and doing what you mean to do). Tread softly, and sensitively. Do not rush and do NOT "fall" into the form (i.e. when the front foot drops "heavily" into the floor). The emphasis here is on "lightness" of step (the cat, the Shinobi...) with particular regards to the front-leg/foot.

Press & pike-walking
THE WHAT:
A locomotive pattern for developing & conditioning overhead straight-arm strength. Whilst the contexts are entirely scalable to the practitioner, a MAXIMAL effort should be made for a straight-arm, overhead press on each "step", regardless of variation.As strength & mobility come to b...

The ‘AT-AT walker’
THE WHAT:
A "high-gait" quadrupedal locomotion pattern inspired by the giant machine ‘AT-AT's’ of the Star Wars universe. Whilst restrictions in posterior-chain mobility can be the main challenge in adhering to the one and only rule in this context, keeping the backside as HIGH as possible throug... -
Arm-initiated 'gait-pivots' (4-levels)
THE WHAT:
A bipedal-locomotion concept teaching use of the arms in generating rotational-momentum in 4 'gait-leves': 'standing', 'high', 'mid', and 'low'. The principle is essentially of "weight-shifting" the body's vertical-axis to a unilateral one over the forward-foot, establishing it as a 'pi...
