Good movement is good movement. I'm happy to see GM is finally starting to become popular with some folks. The athlete would benefit from Prasara Body-Flow in unlocking the predominance of forward flexion in the animal movements of GM, and in developing transitional movements since GM focuses on repetitious performance of an exercise.

"...The athlete would benefit from Prasara Body-Flow in unlocking the predominance of forward flexion in the animal movements of GM..."

Very true. Not enough emphasis on counterposes.

I specially liked the idea of bring in rope climbing...
Most Yoga or yogalike routines lack of "pulling" actions, which might be a source for imbalance.

I like the guy those guys incorporate it. Iknow they like to put some tree or rock climbing into their routines...

Luis,

Rope climbing, gymnastic rings and monkey bars are three of my favorite forms of play for that very reason. They're an integral part of the upcoming opening of The RMAX Gym, Ltd. World Headquarters; though I prefer synthetic to manila fibers on ropes, since manila leaves nasty splinters once the strands dehydrate.

There's a HUGE announcement coming from one of the CSTs soon in this regard. Not what one could imagine at all!

The guy is fluid I'll give him that. I also like the way he rolled around on that ball it looks like fun. However it looks like he has a lot of tension in his shoulders/neck area the way he was grimacing when he held his arms overhead. Or maybe he just makes funny faces when he warms up, I know I do!

Raymond,

The problem with 'stock' programs lacking direct coaching is that martial art, especially grappling, forms very specific chains of tension which must be compensated for. In yoga, this is known as "complementary asana" - in somatic integration strategies it has been called "mirroring" and in some forms of dance therapy it can be referred to as "contra-posturing."

However, to my knowledge, there is no system out there which from top to bottom is specifically organized to the continual recompensation of one's prior training cycles like the Circular Strength Training System. It is, in fact, the key showcase attribute that CST has brought to the "fitness" world - one of our strongest virtues.

I appreciate the movements, but wow, a lot of tension there.

Dig the soundtrack too.
