Groundwork: The Power of Low Gait Movement | Parkour Generations

Low gait and quadrupedal movement has been a foundational training protocol of parkour for more than 20 years, building communities of mobile, strong and resilient movers.
The benefits of this practice, when utilised correctly, are many and varied, including improvements in strength, endurance, mobility, whole body tension, loaded flexibility, stability and joint integration.
The Groundwork Seminars, by Parkour Generations founder Dan Edwardes, arise from a lifetime of experience of various training modalities spanning parkour, the martial arts, fitness and practical movement skills. The seminars introduce an entire continuum of movement progressions from prone to low gait to standing and back, building on healthy kinetic patterns to create free, instinctive and functional application of the movements which can then be integrated into any discipline.
This film provides a glimpse into an exclusive Groundwork Seminar with Dan at London’s famed Chainstore Gym & Parkour Academy.

Quadruperal movement is great and I'm glad parkour makes me discover it. But let's be honest, it's hard and it tests your skills.
