Travelling 'squat-bounce'
'Bipedal' locomotion: foundational patterns & conditioning
•
29s
THE WHAT:
A simple & accessible squat context which expresses & develops the elasticity of the lower-body articulations and their intrinsic connection to the upper-body. As it travels through space it is fundamentally a LOCOMOTION-conditioning context, although, as a pattern in and of itself, it offers nothing in the way of practical optionality.
Be mindful - whilst "healthy" joints naturally express this quality of generating & absorbing force to one degree or another in all bipedal activities, it can simultaneously aggravate areas of existing inflammation and exacerbate them.

The fundamental 'Dragon-Squat'
THE WHAT & HOW:
A static form whose investment begins by developing mobility capacities and conditioning in the lower-body, but ultimately serves as a fundamental 'zero point' through which to transition in bipedal locomotive practice.LEARN MORE (subscriber-only):

'Open-hip knee-kiss' & Elevated 'Toe-...
THE WHAT:
Here the concept of an 'open-hip' (i.e. hip-extension) initiated from the squat position is explored in both unilateral ('Knee-kiss') and bilateral ('Toe-rock') contexts. From a capacity-development perspective, the toes are exposed to loading in their maximally extended position, and w... -
'Low-gait' Squat (LGS) development
THE WHAT:
'Low-gait': the bipedal world between standing and floor-entrance. These drills focus on the "deepest" range from which floor-entrance is most accessible - if the experience and mobility capacities are available. Whilst consistent practice of these drills will help DEVELOP those ranges,...
