'Scorpion Tail' (mobility & patterning)
Groundwork: foundational patterns & conditioning
•
4m 54s
THE WHAT:
The 'Prone tail-reach' & 'Scorpion tail' are isolated movements which will assist in the development of hip-flexors & trunk rotational mobility and range. It also develops the patterning for what is ultimately a TRANSITIONAL tool which can be incorporated into locomotion and low-floor work in sequences and improvisation. Further, it provides a context for proprioceptive mapping of the legs/feet in space.

THE WHAT:
Whilst having roots in the game of Capoeira, the 'AU Cortado' is a essentially a "short" cartwheel with ancient origins unknown. The 'A' refers to the shape of the body when in a squat/standing position - the 'U' (although perhaps more exactly a 'V') refers to the shape of the inverted ... -

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 'St... -

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...
