Movement as a Skill Set - Geo, Boogey, and Ido Portal

Geo and Boogey have really had me inspired in the last few months to start working on being more fluid in my movements. Not even my Jiu Jitsu movements per se, but just general flexibility and range of motion, core strength, etc...

So in my nerd quest to learn about movement, I have come across this dude named Ido Portal. He specializes in moving, and it's truly amazing and beautiful to watch. I'm gonna post some of his videos here in this thread and I hope you guys check it out.

This first one is a squat routine that I have been doing for a few months and it has done wonders for my knee range of motion and my lower back issues. I highly encourage anyone that has either of those problems to incorporate this into your daily routine right away. At first, you may not even be able to get into this squatting position; I couldn't. But keep working on it; I swear to you the results are worth it! My knees feel better than when I was a teenager. For real.

If you guys have not done so, do yourselves a favor and look up Kelly starrett. Absolutely amazing mobility information. He has a book called, becoming a supple leopard. I definitely recommend it. Also look in to Carl Paoli. He has a book that just came out called, freestyle. Putting serious work into your mobility is one of the best things you could ever do for yourself.

All we are doing in jiu jitsu is learning how to move our bodies anyway, right? :)

Thank you for this

Interesting squat routine. Ive always used this squating position when Im warming up. Just started doing it one day and it felt natural felt natural. Never scene a routine made out of it.

This is awesome thanks!
