Body Structure Functional Application

[Hendrik]

ah more felonious bs ! okay buddy lets see your license and registration, tell it to the Judge ...and we know who that is , twitch twitch.

the whole body is a big mama hip. so why just pump one small hip?

IMO "upper body techniques" have limited use without the horse.
I just don't like the term "strong stance". You need to sink and relax the horse. I think of "strong" as applying muscular tension which goes against what you're trying to accomplish. I don't want to be too picky, so excuse me if I'm off base here.

Kevin's suggestion of seung ma toi ma drills is right on the mark as far as I'm concerned. You need to learn to relax and maintain your balance as you're being pushed and pulled around.

***THAT'S a good post right there, my friend.

I am NOT a snake, or a fish or a crane therefore I do not attempt to behave like one. Until I develop some leathal venom or razor sharp claws, I'll stick to more human behavior.

this is seung ma / toi ma ..

This is not exactly what I had in mind.
If the goal is to develop balance and a good horse, then I am suggesting that you actually allow your training partner to come in without attempting to react beforehand. In other words, I would like to feel the incoming force and learn to deal with it properly. If you allow it, you can actually feel the point at which you balance is compromised, at which point you must move to quickly re-establish your balance. You then become comfortable and learn the skill of efficient adjusment when you are in a less than ideal situation. You learn to relax your horse and sink, rather then tense up and freeze. You can become more fluid.

Just an opinion. Your mileage may vary.

if we are talking technical, the relax is not what you want. You want to activate the right muscles be that fast twitch when stepping and isometric while holding the posterior tilt of the pelvis. Its more about switching on the right muscles and keeping the antagonist muscles relaxed. Findind out what is the problem depends on what should be worked, If its your waist going out then standing in stnce and long duration exercises will get the waist muscles stronger to keep it in. If your stepping is weak then do heaps of stepping, patnered, weight vests etc. If its speed step with parachutes, up and down hills, excess speed drills etc. Or if its leg strength do squats plometrics etc.

Three different methods to analyze power generation! The first two you can clearly see the difference in the way they take pressure and send out force. The last is just a solo demo but clearly shows their powering.

Snakes have a pelvis.

[anerlich]

OK, but do they have hips in the context of this discussion?

Earlier in the thread Hendrik claims they do not.

Glad to meet someone even more pedantic than I

Well Ill be even more pedantic, and make a further distinction that snakes don't but pythons do......

But no, not in the terms of this discussion.
