'AU Cortado' (AUC) circles & 'Role to AUC'
Groundwork: foundational patterns & conditioning
•
2m 54s
THE WHAT:
As an ultimately dynamic movement travelling through inversion, with practice the 'AU cortado' (or, "short cartwheel") can be used to with efficiency for travel through space. It can also link seamlessly with other 'cartwheel' forms, such as the fundamental 'Travelling cartwheel' or 'Step-back' variations. Indeed, the developing texture of "grounded" cartwheels leads directly back into the world of the 'AU', whereby one's centre of mass is kept low for more fluid entry/exit and greater overall stability.

THE WHAT:
The 'Negativa' pushup explores a fundamental pressing pattern which has its roots in the art of Capoeira. It has been abstracted here for the value it has in teaching LATERAL bent-arm pushing mechanics. This essentially means that the press is performed sideways in the FRONTAL/CORONAL P... -

THE WHAT:
In translation “cutting the grass” - a basic momentum-generating squat pattern which, when integrated within locomotion & 'groundwork' contexts as a transition, also transmits kinetic energy from the previous movement into the rotational swing of the leg.From here it can either dull o...

Negativa leg-switch (NLS) & Role
THE WHAT:
A simple switching of the forward-leg in the upright phase of the 'Negativa' form. Note that all transitioning from side-to-side and movement through space in the 'NLS' takes place "sitting" on the heel with weight through the BALL of the foot, just as in the pivoting transition of the ...
