'Circle of the neck/shoulders'
BW 'front-folding'-range
•
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 '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 Inch Worm
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 ‘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...
