'Travelling' Sissy to QDR exit variations
'Bipedal' locomotion: foundational patterns & conditioning
•
2m 39s
THE WHAT & HOW:
From its practice as a capacity-development tool, the ‘Sissy squat’ ultimately becomes a floor-entry pattern linking together the worlds of standing, and the world of quadrupedal movement, here continuing the pattern with the fundamental ‘Role’ and ‘QDR’ in a potentially never-ending ‘groundwork’ sequence which takes the body travelling through space.
Whilst there is potential here to integrate further by adding extra movement or simply using it as a floor-entrance pattern from which to improvise for time, for the practitioner first linking these patterns together there is already a lot to practice, notably with regards to establishing optimal structure on the QDR elbow-support, that this is initially deserving of much investment.

THE WHAT:
A conditioning locomotion pattern innately developing the range of the ankles in dorsiflexion (this comes from the intention working through a maximal extension & flexion each step which both loads in a stretched position, as well as strengthens through the concentric range), front-fold... -
The 'Ostrich Walk'
THE WHAT & HOW:
A dynamic, ballistic locomotion pattern which develops the elasticity of the posterior-chain, further to range in front-folding & active compression (when executed with this intent, i.e. active PULLING of the top of the head toward the floor).Practitioners should be mindful - wh...

The Duck Walk
THE WHAT:
A progressively-extending locomotion context developing mobility, joint-integrity, and patterning of the general squat form in motion. In its most basic intent, the practice is of placing ever further-reaching bases of support (the foot), and then TRANSFERRING the weight of the body – “...
