'Half-Role' to 'High-bridge rotation' (HBR)
Groundwork: fundamental integrations
•
40s
THE WHAT:
A travelling high-bridge pattern in which only the first 'arc' of the Role is drawn (i.e. 'half-Role'), and the second accompanies the full 'high-bridge rotation' (HBR). The effect is that of a normal 'Role' in terms of direction of travel, however the body passes from prone (quadrupedal Role) through supine (bridge) and back again.
For those having practiced the HBR largely in ROTATIONAL contexts essentially beginning from the squat, this integration opens up a new possibility for entering & using the transitional HBR form, i.e. directly from a prone, QUADRUPEDAL position.

THE WHAT:
Using the head as an extra support (HSu) toward developing proficiency with bridge-rotations (high & low) to QDR exit. As an isolated context for practice, it brings together two fundamental supports, the bridge and 'QDR', highlighting their innate connection through transverse rotation... -
Standing-to-bridge contexts
THE WHAT & HOW:
Contexts for exploring a controlled transition from standing, into bridge. Whilst in its isolated practice (standing/Sissy-squat to bridge & returning) significant control in back-bending range is requested & developed, in the integrated variations it ultimately serves as a bipeda... -
'QDR Circles' progressions
THE WHAT:
An integrated movement pattern with origins in Capoeira, taking the body through a 360-degrees rotation in space without the hands leaving the floor. Its execution represents a marriage between the full 'QDR rotational pushup' (QDR RPU) progression, drawing the first half of the circle,...
