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

[Thejerm]

Ido, is incredible and his approach to movement is outstanding. I just started the gymnasticbodies.com Foundations course! It will be a great supplement to make my body strong and flexible and resilient to trauma as I continue to get older. It is so far a great program with an, unbelievable, amount of support on their website and forum. The movements seem simple but really require a lot of attention to detail and are much more difficult than one might think.
im only a week in, so I haven't put any of it to test yet, but I have no doubt i will be better in the end.

Great thread Bmac. Thank you. I need to start doing these kinds of movements.

i've been following a lot of portal's stuff for the last year or so now.

it has made a HUGE difference in my back mobility and subsequently my half guard and side control escaping (and bridging of course).

My knees feel better than when I was a teenager. For real.

amen! that and foam rolling has my knees feeling better than in highschool when i was playing basketball. nobody believes me when i tell them though.

This is precisely why all the reputable sambo schools overseas include gymnastics training early in the athlete's development (starting at 6 yrs old). It prepares the body to function through a wide range of motions more efficiently, and the rationale is that if you are kinesthetically unaware, then you have no business grappling.

I do 4 hours of jj and 2 hours of gymnastics, mon-fri. Every week. Gymnastics has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

Don't overlook Glovers exercise ball workouts for fluid movement training.
