'Circle of the neck/shoulders'
Floor-contact locomotion & transitions
•
4m 51s
THE WHAT:
Whilst also a strength ("core") and mobility (neck & posterior-chain) development frame, ultimately these capacities develop within the practice of a fundamental floor-contact transitional movement (i.e. negotiating the head/neck against the floor as the feet/hands remain ANCHORED).
It allows the practitioner to “thread” in & out of the body, requiring development of global structural awareness/stability and localised “intelligence of the head”, i.e. which way to turn it when rolling backward to avoid its being trapped under the body.

THE WHAT:
Floor-contact lateral rolls generally carry the intention of “softening” and “melting” into the floor, an emphasis on the “ironing out” of “bumps” & “creases” toward an aesthetic of effortlessness, and are “driven” by the legs in their cyclical, piston-like pushing against the floor. Th... -
Travelling ‘Helicopter-roll’
THE WHAT:
The ‘Travelling helicopter-roll’ is a locomotive floor-contact pattern which essentially integrated the fundamental ‘Helicopter floor-entrance/exit’ pattern with the ‘Open-hip lateral floor-roll’. They are linked together in cyclical combination, the only addition being a “whip” of the ... -
