Progressive 'Dragon-flag' & variations
Core & spinal-stability
•
4m 2s
THE WHAT:
The 'Dragon-flag' form is a progressive, bent-arm lever form which both develops & conditions global structural-stability, namely strength to stabilise the spine ("core-strength") under increasingly unfavourable leverage. With the "hinge" at the shoulders, everything shoulders-down serves as the 'load-arm', and so extending the spine/legs progressively increases difficulty.

Rings 'roll-out'
THE WHAT:
A simple & convenient global-stability drill performed with the gymnastics rings. Its optimal execution relies on an EMBODIED understanding of the "hollow-body" form, namely sustaining a strong 'neutral' spine-position through conscious posterior pelvic-tilt ('PPT') & supported by activ... -
'Table-top' isometric variations
THE WHAT:
A fundamental straight-arm shoulder-extension context for mobility, strength, and structural-balance development (i.e. to "balance out" overhead pushing/shoulder-flexion contexts).Whilst the fundamental bilateral context (i.e. both hands & feet on the ground) helps to diagnose, develo...

Fundamental "Animal Box" transition
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 wa...
