Pistol squat to Negativa pushup (leg forward)
Groundwork integrations
•
2m 9s
THE WHAT:
A simple unilateral (single-legged) entrance from standing to close-floor contact by integrating the 'pistol squat' to transition through levels in space and the 'Negativa pushup' (leg forward variation) to lower the body to the floor.
Whilst essentially a lower/upper-body strength integration in its isolated form, as a floor-entrance tool it immediately connects with the 'Lizard-crawl step-under', for example, opening up the world of close-floor locomotion.

Negativa leg-switch (NLS) & Role
THE WHAT:
A simple switching of the forward-leg in the upright phase of the 'Negativa' form. Note that all transitioning from side-to-side and movement through space in the 'NLS' takes place "sitting" on the heel with weight through the BALL of the foot, just as in the pivoting transition of the ... -
'Role' to front-side (FS) 'Corta-capim'
THE WHAT:
A fundamental integration between the rotational 'groundwork' locomotion form 'Role', and the rotational, low-gait transition 'Corta-capim'. As always with the 'CC', a main point of focus is ensuring that the swinging leg is kept as STRAIGHT and EXTENDED as possible, ALL the way around ... -
Role to high & low-bridge rotation (H...
THE WHAT:
A most fundamental integration between the 'Role' and the ‘High/Low-bridge rotation’ (H/LBR) progressions which serve both for ongoing capacity-development and conditioning, further to deepening understanding of these foundational ‘Groundwork’ forms.The main learning objective is awar...
