What is the key to movement?


Recommended Posts

What do you think the key to good body movement is, in regards to athletic performances, like the Martial Arts?

Does it have to do with keeping the knees flexed? Is it having a good athletic stance? Is it staying light on the feet?

What does everyone think?

The key to movement is having bio-mechanical unity in everything you do. However the prerequisite of this is having a high level of proprioception.

Weight Positioning.

Everything starts with a good, atheletic stance. Feet about shoulder width apart and staggered, knees flexed slightly, weight on balls of feet over the center. That's at the core of moving. Then, a bit of lightness and fluidity of movement, grace would be a good descriptor I guess, from there.

Ah, there ya go, James, goin' all kineseology on me! :lol:

But, I do understand proprioception, and it is a good place to start.

I also agree with all the others above so far. It is tough to pick just one thing. But, if we needed a foundation, the athletic stance is a good start, I think.

good coaching and lots of practice.

The movement is good if you can make it work on resisting, athletic opponents.

The only way to achieve that: Good coaching and lots of practice.

All three of these have one thing in common... bent knees.

If you are going to move, the first think you have to do is bend your knees.
