My review of The Physical Body 1 DVD

3:23...why is that guy burying himself in the sand??

3:23...why is that guy burying himself in the sand??

I think that guy was training to be a curb. The sand looked like it was kicked up by the guy jumping over him. They were probably doing buddy exercises with one on the ground and the other jumping. At some point I bet they switch. That along with the horrible punishment on their knees just blows me away. I like buddy exercise but there is no way I'd trust even my Sifu to do continuous jumping like that over my lower back. One misstep due to fatigue and you could be paralyzed.

Is it required to wear a speedo to practice this?

[Kellen Bassette]

I think he was trying to hide to get out of doing the jumps.

I might be a little g@y after watching that video.

[Raipizo]

I think he was trying to hide to get out of doing the jumps.

He was actually doing an impression of a sea turtle and laying a clutch of eggs. Isn't it obvious?

[Stickgrappler]

lol at the replies ... my guess is he is trying to keep cool?

Many thanks Stick grappler. The link did not completely open for me but I will try again later.

[Kellen Bassette]

I didn't realize wrestling and pole dancing were so intimately related...
Looks like a great strength workout though...
