Fundamental "Animal Box" transition
'Quadrupedal' locomotion: foundational patterns & conditioning
•
1m 34s
THE WHAT & HOW:
The '"Animal box" allows for a quick & simple transition between prone & supine quadrupedal positions. In incorporating with wider quadrupedal locomotion vocabulary, it most notably allows for seamless switching between variations of the 'Bear crawl' (prone) and the 'Crab/table walk' (supine). Another fundamental characteristic to observe is that it does NOT travel in space. It is purely a TRANSITION only - the body simply changes its orientation.

The 'Bear crawl' on "hot coals"
THE WHAT:
A quadrupedal locomotion texture practiced toward "unchaining" the fundamental 'Bear crawl' locomotion pattern. "Textures" of movement are as wide an ranging as your imagination. The visualisation here is of "hot coals" which promotes a locomotive gait with a light and bouncy texture....

The fundamental 'Role'
THE WHAT:
The 'Role' (ho-lay) is a fundamental movement for transitioning into and over the floor. It comes from the world of the fight/dance discipline 'Capoeira', where it is used as an integral evasive and linking movement and expressed in a variety of forms and variations. For the purposes of... -
The fundamental 'Gallop' & transitions
THE WHAT:
A fundamental quadrupedal locomotion pattern for lateral (side-to-side) movement in space. In the initial variations of the basic pattern (without turns), it serves primarily as a CONDITIONING drill (namely overhead straight-arm strength/SAS pressing), as the hips are lifted as HIGH AS ...
