Learn to Integrate Positions and Make Patterns: Bear Crawl Position + Under Switch Pattern Into Crab Walk Postion = INTEGRATION
The concept revolves around calisthenics and bodyweight movement. It emphasizes isolating positions found in everyday crawling patterns, such as bear crawls. By focusing on mastering isolated positions, like driving the knee and tapping, or transitioning between bear crawl and crab positions, one can achieve better control and efficiency. The approach aims to eliminate the need for regression in movements and encourages a systematic breakdown into starting, transitional, and secondary positions. The ultimate goal is to gain immense control over the body, allowing for innovation and improvement in performance. Watch the next video for insights on evaluating performance and initiating innovation.
Because this is a concept that is founded in the world of calisthenics and bodyweight movement, I want to start off with the idea of isolating a position that we find in a every day crawling pattern.
And so if we do bear crawls, if you’re familiar with me, you definitely know bear crawls. Right? You’re isolating a position to get better at it. So if you want to do a play, and you want to get better at bear crawls, they don’t necessarily translate. So why don’t we get better at holding this isolated position? Right, and then we can possibly integrate some moves into that we can drive the knee and tap, drive the knee and tap bone back and forth. Maybe we move hand and foot and we feel back and forth.
Maybe we just isolate one side, so we get better at it and then ultimately, you can add other moves, I can isolate a crab position, and I can touch and such and such but then I want to translate a transition into a bear crawl. Well, I’m going to integrate the bear crawl position and the crab position by doing other patterns. That gets me there. And I can do both sides to go back and forth. Right. And so ultimately, we gain this immense control of our body because we don’t necessarily have to regress a movement we have to break down like anything. Any movement in the world in the body in space is broken down into a starting position. A transitional movement into a secondary position and a transitional movement back into that starting position.
Now there’s different nuances within there, but those four main parts, get better at those. Stop having to regret some try these crazy different things to get you there. Just understand that there are positions that you can isolate, there are positions patterns that you can isolate, and multiple positions together is integration of to make a pattern. And now you take those patterns and you get better at performing and performing and performing them to the point where your efficiency is so set like subconsciously done. Now you can innovate on top of that. Make sure to watch the next video to really start to understand why and how you can know if your performance is good enough to begin innovation.
