'AU back-step' to 'Back-switch'
Groundwork integrations
•
2m 5s
THE WHAT:
An integrated transition & 'ground-work' pattern incorporating the fundamental 'AU cortado' with a 'back-step' variation and the basic 'Back-switch' to a 'Role' exit. The concept most significantly at play here is an emphasised COUNTER-ROTATION/TORSION between the torso and pelvis (or, more generally, the upper & lower-halves of the body through the midsection) in both the initial 'AU' and the consequent 'Back-switch', particularly in variation 2 ('direct arm-switch).
Because of this, the integration both requests, and continues to develop, proficiency in performing CONTROLLED ‘AU cortado’, as counter-rotational manipulation takes place during the mid-phase of the movement.

'Half-Role' to 'High-bridge rotation'...
THE WHAT:
A travelling high-bridge pattern in which only the first 'arc' of the Role is drawn (i.e. 'half-Role'), and the second accompanies the full 'high-bridge rotation' (HBR). The effect is that of a normal 'Role' in terms of direction of travel, however the body passes from prone (quadrupeda... -
Bridge rotation to QDR exit w/head-su...
THE WHAT:
Using the head as an extra support (HSu) toward developing proficiency with bridge-rotations (high & low) to QDR exit. As an isolated context for practice, it brings together two fundamental supports, the bridge and 'QDR', highlighting their innate connection through transverse rotation... -
QDR Transitions 1
THE WHAT:
Progressive 'transitions' through the QDR support essentially entail entering into a fully-supported QDR hold (i.e. the entire bodyweight), and then exiting again. The QDR here is used either as a momentary static-hold, or as a PASSING support in which the body generally rotates over th...
