QDR Entry Variations 1
Groundwork: fundamental integrations
•
2m 56s
THE WHAT:
In these initial entries to QDR, the elbow-support position is used only momentary for the weight of the body to pass over it. Regardless, for this quick transition to feel stable & controlled, the elbow-positioning must be optimal and available for IMMEDIATE use in a dynamic context.
For this reason, these make for very accessible contexts to initially test and to further better “map” proficiency & accuracy of the ‘QDR support’, once there has been investment in isometric/static practice. It is also an opportunity to being integrating fundamental forms, namely the ‘Role’ and ‘AU cortado’ at an early stage of practice, paving the way for developmental integrations & sequences to come.

‘Role’ to ‘Box-turn’
THE WHAT & HOW:
A fundamental locomotion transition used for both transmitting and generating kinetic potential. This means that the rotational momentum from the fundamental 'Role' is carried directly into a 'Box-turn' transition (also seen in the 'Box-turn to knee-slide' floor-entrance pattern),... -
'Scorpion-tail' to half Role
THE WHAT & HOW:
A simple integration between the fundamental 'Role' and 'Scorpion-tail' patterns. In order to lead direction into the 'Scorpion', the 'Role' is performed in only half of its full pattern, with the first arc being "drawn" only.In "touching down" after the scorpion, note that the ...

Sissy 'touchdown'/ to Role
THE WHAT:
A fundamental integration between the capacity-development context ‘Sissy squat’ and the basic ‘Role’ pattern, connecting the world of standing to the world of ‘Groundwork’ through a controlled transition into the floor. The variations are simply from isolated “touchdown”, to either a ‘...
