Fisherman squat & 'Box-turn' to knee-slide
Floor-entrance (FEN) & floor-exit (FEX) patterns
•
3m 4s
THE WHAT:
A floor-entrance transition performed through a knee-slide which can be accessed from seated (the ‘Fisherman squat’ form) or from quadrupedal (the fundamental prone ‘box’ position). It is notable for purposes of integration, then, that this floor-entrance is accessible from any system of pattern which connect with both ‘Fisherman squat’ variations (such as the system of ’90-90’ forms) or the quadrupedal ‘box’ form or ‘box-turn’ transition (such as the fundamental ‘Bear-crawl’ and ‘Role’ variations).
The main limitation of this entrance is that it is largely environmental-dependent, namely with regards to the floor which should be optimally somewhat hard with minimal friction. For this reason, thin knee-protection, such as knee-supports, or thick trousers can be used to protect the knees during practice.

THE WHAT:
A variation on the fundamental ‘FEN/FEX from seated’, with which is it recommend to have already “embodied” through consistent practice before exploring this variation. The key difference here is in the mechanism & function of the arms upon entry/exit: whilst the primary ‘FEN/FEX from s... -
The 'Shoulder-stand'
THE WHAT:
The ‘shoulder-stand’ establishes an essentially diagonal axis of balance, from the base shoulder through the opposite side hip and leg. It is initially supported by the free hand planted on the floor, although can later be incrementally removed as alignment and balance calibration devel... -
Seated pike to prone (& back)
THE WHAT & HOW:
A charming little context which "maps" both the anterior & posterior "circle of the hips", or, rather, the full-circle. It comes from the perspective of "circles of the body", by which we can use them, just like wheels, to move both in and through space.In oder to place it withi...
