Professional fighters training in the Ido Portal Method

Some footage from our recent work with professional fighters in the amazing Epic MMA facility in Hong Kong.
Fighters, like all people, are first Humans, second Movers and only third Fighters. They can experience a total transformation in the way they move from a variety of tools and approaches we use under the Method for Movement and skill development.

Location: Epic MMA Hong Kong

I'll answer to you honestly, without ego: 1. This is a world of over-specialization. One can be an amazing specialist and lack in general movement capacities. Dont mistaken being a specialist with being an advanced mover - in that regard those athletes have just started. 2. Do you know how many reps did he do before? How many rounds? How many pre-fatigue sets? What we are doing here? What we are aiming to achieve? It is impossible to conclude anything from KZbin in this regard. Thanks, Ido.

[@kyledawson4535]

Ido Portal you tell those haters. Your brilliant Mr.portal I really respect what you do

[@josue7210]

How Can I come in contact you wit you Mr. Portal

[@Esoto826]

I always shed a tear when I see courteous responses between people on KZbin without defaming the other person's mother . Well done you two .

[@christopherkenney5017]

You are way ahead of the game with your views on movement and movement quality. This is really good stuff here. You appear to understand movement better than probably 95% of PTs, MDs, strength coaches, etc. Awesome

[@adrianoflo7306]

From those posts on your blog, talking about so much things, capoeira, training methods, workouts, experiences, philosophy... to this. Those great times, but these are better! Ido, you're and inspirational guy, on every fuckin word. thanks. Greetings from Andalusia, Spain.

[@jesseasner7330]

[@ShaolinChessboxer]

Loved it, much respect to you and what you do all around the world Mr. Portal.

[@charles125]

What you said about specialization is why I start to train for function, three years back. Most people don't really understand that concept in a practical way, so it's difficult to explain it without sounding egotistical or boastful. Thanks for your vids, great to see like-minded individuals.

[@oceanemerson]

Very nice. Thanks for posting this up Ido!

[@AntonEmery]

Insightful video. Thanks for making this available

[@unknownx7252]

Just when you thought you've seen it all, much love dude.

[@punisherpr]

That looks amazing and fun...I wish to actually do this... It does look like a very thorough and complete way to train for a good lifestyle.

[@user-es3po9jo5y]

Hi! portal,after seeing all videos about u, you're definitely AWESOME!!!All of your movement is inspired me. Also i know u're busy of u workshop,but if you can come to Hong Kong again,i think that will be a good news for anyone who's love to moving,especially for me!

[@somethingdifferent6719]

hello ido im a big fan of what you do and the idea of functionality, I was wondering if you have any videos (or if you could make one) on what you teach these people. like a beginners workout really thanks

[@Farmatron1]

[@LongswordRussia]

Очень интересные упражнения! Все понравилось!

[@MindfullMC]

Ido doing big things. YES.

[@LegendFCMMA]

Thanks for the insightful video. Seems like a great way to improve upper body strength, endurance and flexibility!

[@capoeiradenhaag]

Nice Ido, for me from a Capoeira perspective, its interesting to see how your method to other area's besides capoeira. Big congrats, I will steal some of your teachings I that's ok.... (Can I from your blog?)

[@capoeiradenhaag]

(I know i can. As a former muay Thai and judo man, i think i understand a little bit of the need to first be a good mover, and than.... Nice I like that reframe)

[@Twinphreex]

Basic calisthenics and some moves that exist for hundreds of years in martial art

[@devalah]

+Twinphreexx well...yeah...

[@mohammadarif857]

You r my Hero

[@Dowsery]

I wish I could come to train

[@souza_fitness_model825]

Wow that's awesome.;)

[@mikegeorge9897]

I wish I could start doing this but unfortunately my line of work doesn't exactly provide the time or the place to do such. :/ . That and i'm sure I would require training of some sort, which would also be out of the question.

[@omeriko1981]

ido,do you teach the dissapearing trick in 2:48

[@ConnorKenway14694]

hello sir...i hope you read this the thing is...i have lots of energy and time but money is my only problem....can i still get started with your training method?in case you were wondering i'm a freerunner...thanks :)

[@dnmgch]

Guru Ido, you went to Hong Kong for workshop before?

[@berdikupa]

4:03 Is this the kind of loaded stretch we should do to improve our flexibility ?

[@mikelegrice]

what's going on here... the exchange above it the most respectful, cordial exchanged of youtube comments i've ever seen... ever. i'm so confused :)

[@spooky121000]

U seen the spooky handstand

[@thrashaolin]

PORCHETTA! Man, I hope she doesn't know the meaning of that word in Italian!

[@bangermccrusher]

Where can I study this???

[@davart311]

where is breathing ? Ujjay breathing brings more depth..

[@karls8586]

This. This.

[@NeoOsiris19]

Would you ever be doing a workshop in Toronto?

[@annoyed707]

In Toronto, just train in Systema.

[@supasye]

this video shows why you havent heard of these people before.

[@rajdehoo6993]

We still havent heard of them yet in 2019

[@PrimerWolf]

How would an ordinary person get to train with Mr. Portal?

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

he said cheetha like it's his real name

[@SpiritOfMartialArts]

email him

[@clackox9412]

Its probably not ordinary, depending on which muscles are actually utilized; he might be training cross kenetics

[@Leitosssssss]

She is cuteee. I am sure she can fight, but she is cute :))

[@meacomefeyou]

3:18 this guy thinks like me. He is a good cup and thirsty.

[@platonovplatonov9388]

В боевых искусствах..сила конечно очень нужна. Но, техника бойца намного больше имеет значение. С возрастом приходит такое мнение. За внешним видом не стоит гнаться..

[@SpangoChrikoWeirdo]

Hate to state the obvious. But man, she is hot.

[@wirezts]

agreed.

[@wirezts]

Chinese and Italian... perfect

[@vipertheinterceptor4050]

Soisci Porchetta for next chinese president

[@Tekvicious]

Lol...unusual isn't it? Martial Arts makes people a bit more circumspect in their responses. :)

[@derablilotfi2112]

my dream to get a chinese wife or western asia women

[@vladsta3833]

Maybe some English lessons would help as well. You could be great but if you can't be marketed you are just meh. Prime example Amanda nunes.
