You should make more of this videos. Not all of us is into martial arts but the information that you share in your 3 videos is amazingly good. It really helped me and I have a thorn meniscus surgery and I'm starting in Parkour and Yoga. This is great material!

[@errcoche]

I think I would need some other prior exercises to be able to even contemplate trying this exercise. Can't help noticing that Dr Spina is very lean and already very flexible.

[@chad_hominem]

you're right, this is a movement that requires many pre-requisites. Maybe Dr Dre was assuming that most martial artists already have some of the requisite flexibility/mobility to try it out, i dunno

[@funknotik]

This is great I want to build up to it. But is there something we can do to progress into this first?

[@bacfu]

Thanks for the post ,i will work on these.

[@ranger395]

Very nice. Like these vids. Keep 'em coming!

[@DrAndreoSpina]

Hello Rick I am currently finishing up the new Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) system seminars which will be open of trainers, health practitioners, and just those interested in improving their mobility. Announcements will be made via Jits on upcoming scheduled events. There will also be the possibility to hold private in club seminars.

[@RICKR1ZZLE]

Dr. Spina, Do you offer any training materials or seminars specific to jiu jitsu? From your website, it appears that all of your seminars are focused towards the allied health fields and not competitors specifically. thanks

[@DonsHooplifesports]

great vid is their a beginning level to these mvements my legs aren't strong enough yet to balance on one leg and switch to the next le is their a modified version of this excerise thanks

[@garjo8970]

when it comes out can you link to the exact page on your twitter please..i have trouble maneuvering the jits website lol. Thanks!

[@respeezy]

I have tried this and would love to do it more, but it hurts my knees:(

[@strongarmboys]

respeezy I know it's a year later. if it hurts your knees you proabably do not have the proper range in your knees and maybe your ankles. this is a pretty advanced move. you would have to start by training your range of motion and mobility in your knees and ankles first. look up his video on intrinsic foot strengthening

[@respeezy]

Luis Molina Yeah makes sense, tx for replying, osu.

[@holisticchaos7910]

Luis Molina I was hoping someone was kind enough to explain what a beginner like me would have to do to work up to this exercise so thank you!

[@MrJbolding23]

this is very late and i am sure that you have done this by now... internal rotation(or lack there of) will be a large factor in causing the shearing effect of the knee . address this with an FR practitioner. or atleast get a FRA. enjoy this journey it is very rewarding

[@baldycheese]

decent

[@tyronebrennand4958]

This looks quite heavy on the knees. There are better ways to warmup your hips

[@iamgroot2448]

You know who this guy is right? I.e. his credentials, certifications and experience? Lol

[@tyronebrennand4958]

@@iamgroot2448 The person's credentials and certifications has nothing to do with the point at matter.

[@iamgroot2448]

@@tyronebrennand4958 sure it does, but as it seems we don't agree on that fundamental point, no point furthering this discussion. Have a good day mate

Asian squat

[@flurblewibble7735]

As per other comment, you need to have good flexibility to even try this. This clearly is not for beginners by any stretch of the imagination. Useless without earlier progressions.

[@serjiojitser4461]

This duck walk is great, but if you wait 200++ lb? I'm disliking it because author do not address all body types/weights in this video.

[@MellenMan]

Serjio Jitser you got bigger issues to address if you're over weight man healthy diet and start with a walk around the block every day

[@alrightalrightalright6165]

James Mellen Who said he is overweight? In my opinion, anyone who is 6 ft plus and trains should be 200+ pounds. As the old mantra goes... that I saw on a tshirt one time... Grown man > 200lbs

[@MellenMan]

the orginal poster made it sound like he was talking about overweight people. and if your overweight (depends on how much) this exercise isn't right for you. its all opinion do whatever the fuck you wanna do as the saying goes Tommy Touhghnuts
