Movement Series Ep01: Press Up / Jiu Jitsu Bridge / Hip Twist

Welcome to our new movement series. Each episode will feature 3 movements; one each from S&C/FMS, grappling and striking.

These are fundamental movement patterns that underlie combat sports techniques and athletic activities. We have used these movements as coaches working with others and to improve our own practice.

We often find new members struggle to replicate what they see others do. It's common to feel off balance, uncoordinated or weak with an inability to make your body do what you want it too. Taking time to learn fundamental movement patterns is the path to improving control of your body. Aim for fluidity and control rather than speed and explosion, be mindful of controlling your body throughout all parts of these movements.

Find some space and have a go! Disclaimer: Be careful, we aren't responsible for any injury you cause yourself!!

Tracking your progress is a great idea so do film yourself practicing them over the coming weeks. If you upload yourself trying the movements from an episode please tag us so we can see!
