The Duck Walk
Fundamental squat & hip-mobility development
•
1m 59s
THE WHAT:
A progressively-extending locomotion context developing mobility, joint-integrity, and patterning of the general squat form in motion. In its most basic intent, the practice is of placing ever further-reaching bases of support (the foot), and then TRANSFERRING the weight of the body – “ROLLING” over the ball of the foot - to that new support. With the additional intention of PULLING the back leg around to the front in as EXTENDED (i.e. outward-reaching) an arc as possible BEFORE the foot is placed as the next support, a stimulus of “compression”-conditioning is also affected.

90-90 exploration
THE WHAT:
An “open” context, insomuch that the practitioner is free to explore all 90-90 patterns available to them in a programmed space/time. The objective here is to begin finding, understanding, and expressing the interconnections between the various isolated 90-90 contexts, both to establish...
