Improving Efficiency of Motion

 

Let’s have a look at a few crucial aspects whose improvement can give you a serious advantage.
Especially: Relax to spend less energy, let Flow your Liquid body and mind, Expand & Condense myofascial body, strengthen your Tensegrity, get power and freedom of Breathing to oxygenate Inner Fire, become aware of Action, Reaction and Flow

 

Relax

You are more efficient when you do a job with less power.
Undesirable tension consumes a lot of your energy, which could be used for higher performance.
Tensed muscles don’t get proper rest, they tire quicker, are more rigid and prone to injury.

A liquid body spends less energy, can quickly change the direction of movement, can accumulate power, it’s not limited by breathing, it reacts differently when it crashes into others etc.
A sportsman who can randomly switch between liquid and solid qualities is harder to predict.

Flow

It’s much more effective to accept and flow with energy.
Firstly we harmonise and synchronise with our own kinetic energy, then we flow of others.
A liquid body can surf on waves of kinetic energy accumulating speed and power which is then used as a pendulum, catapult, whip etc.

Expand & condense

.

Stress is eating you from the inside out. Stress produces undesirable tension, which holds you back. Stress can even paralyze you.
Under stress it is much harder to focus, so your mistakes magnify, and creativity goes down.
A confident, relaxed body (also mind) is much more creative, efficient and.

We can add the power of expanding fascia tissue from the other side of the arm to the regular muscle contraction.
Using less muscle power, you become more efficient – stronger, or to do the job with less tension.
The power of the expanding and condensing fasciae is the secret of ‘the superhuman power’ that  Systema and Chi Kung masters demonstrate.

Tensegrity

In essence, there are two mechanical systems that can maintain weight:
1. compression – bracing
2. tension – hanging

Compression – bracing maintains your posture primarily via the bones, joints and discs.
Tension – hanging maintains your posture via our fasciae, tendons and muscles – tensegrity.

Tensegrity helps to hold your bodyweight.
In addition, functional tensegrity allows for less pressure to your discs, vertebrae & joints.

Thus, by decreasing the chance of injuries, movements are easier and smoother. In addition, it makes you feel lighter.

Inner Fire

 

 

Inner Fire (vital energy) is the expansive power that lifts us every morning from the bed against the condensing gravitational energy.

The Chinese call it Chi or Qi, Indian Kundalini, in Slavic culture it is called Zhiva.
In the English language, I prefer to use the word ‘Fire’, because it evokes the quality and helps us visualise this power…
Inner fire likes oxygen, relax and expanded floating body.

 

The Inner Fire is lifting us, and we wave with our bodies as the wind waves a flag…

Power of breathing

 

 

Fire needs oxygen. Therefore it is crucial to breathing correctly to have proper Inner Fire – good vital energy.
Deep proper breathing aerates your Inner Fire in a similar way as blowing into Inner Fire aerates it.
Breathing can give you power, relaxes you, or helps you deal with pain. Breathing can also tense you up, stress you out, or restrict your movement.
A physical action linked to breathing can restrict your movements. A physical movement unlinked to breathing opens you up to a new freedom of movement. You learn to react without hesitation by exhaling and inhaling.
To use your potential it is important to get good breathing habits, especially under pressure.

Action, Reaction and Flow

Most sports training usually focuses on action. However, before any action has happened, you subconsciously have a reaction.
Programming your reactions would make you quicker. To trust your reactions means you can be more relaxed and confident.

Cowboy in ‘flow’ has a much higher chance to survive…

Flow is a longer-term activity rather than separate actions.
Instead of a reaction to any particular impulse, we have a connection with other bodies.
The mind is expanded to be connected. In psychology, we call this state of mind ‘flow’.
In the flow, we are not thinking, not trying to guess where the other body will move. We are just in the present and keep connected.

Lived experience method

Our concept leads you via exercises, where you take many unforgettable personal experiences.
You can feel and study how each aspect affects your body and mind
You realise which techniques work and which doesn’t.
Personal experience is better than books of theory.
