'Quadrupedal' locomotion: foundational patterns & conditioning
•
1m 51s
THE WHAT:
A fundamental quadrupedal locomotion pattern revisited with added intention & quality. Note that, whilst travelling laterally, the pattern begins with a partial ROTATION into the direction of travel. This quality makes it more conducive to integration with other rotational quadrupedal patterns, such as the 'Role', and fundamental transitions, such as 'Box-turn' and even 'Bridge-rotations'.

The Gallop "cut-back" transition
THE WHAT:
A simple transition for the fundamental 'Gallop' quadrupedal locomotion pattern which allows for an immediate return in the direction from which one came. As it requires a swift, mid-air "cut-back" to execute, the practitioner should already have the patterning & capacity to experience ... -
The ‘AT-AT walker’
THE WHAT:
A "high-gait" quadrupedal locomotion pattern inspired by the giant machine ‘AT-AT's’ of the Star Wars universe. Whilst restrictions in posterior-chain mobility can be the main challenge in adhering to the one and only rule in this context, keeping the backside as HIGH as possible throug... -
The ‘Table Walk’ conditioning pattern
THE WHAT & HOW:
A fundamental, supine locomotion pattern which, whilst following the same coordination as the basic 'Crab walk', emphasises the range of shoulder-extension (i.e. arms behind the body's mid-line) used by keeping the hips as HIGH as possible. For this reason, in its isolated practic...
