Ginastica Natural and free flowing movement
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 03:54PM
We've always been fans of free flowing movement and continue to persevere and aspire to achieve it some day. Blending floor work from martial arts, contemporary dance, yoga, gymnastics and every form of physical training that ever existed alongside the moves we see our young children and wild animals instinctively perform we achieve high quality athletic movement abilities.
We gain flexibility, joint mobility, trunk strength and conditioning, upper and lower body strength/endurance, energy efficiency, mechanical economy , and a greater awareness of what our abilities are.

Alvaro Romano played around with his brazilian ju jitsu, yoga and intuition and came up with the the Ginastica Natural method. You may see many familiar elements and say this is that, and that is this. (Yes Scott Sonnon has intu-flow too)The real point is to just take a look, have a go and see where you can go with it and what you can bring to it.
thanks to Michael Rook for putting this video forward to me.

Good stuff this Jon. Moving your body freely as it was intended. But its a shame that we now have to invent 'methods' to teach us how to do this. Has our creativity with regards to physical movement/ culture become so stagnant? (I'm not referring exclusively to this video but the current trend that is sweeping the fitness industry).
what are your thoughts?
yoga is the best one
