Cameron Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) Sean, I keep hearing about this and remember you said your BJJ teacher is into it. What's it like? How would you compare it to Sonnon's stuff or Yoga? links.. http://www.ginasticanatural.com.br/ingles/ and http://orlandocani.com.br/ Edited April 15, 2006 by Cameron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sean Posted April 16, 2006 Hmmm... I'm not experienced enough in it yet to really make a good comparison. It's really fun and similar to BodyFlow in some ways but trains skills more specifically transferrable to BJJ in my opinion. Supposedly it's based on observing animals in nature and on the DVD Alvaro does all the forms in really cool, tropical locations. It's funny you should ask about this right now because my teacher just flew Alvaro Romano into Oakland and I might take a private class with him tommorow if my freakin' legs stop burning from the half a million hindu squats he made me do last class.

Yoda Posted April 17, 2006 you keep your heels on the ground and "be breathed" by the motion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda Posted April 17, 2006 Michael, Trinity squats are on intuflow which you have, but you got to get your hands on bodyflow. It kicks ass!!! Intuflow is nothing compared to bodyflow. Seriously!! -Kyle (I think I'll start using my name a bit more. I've come too close signing work emails with "Yoda". I'll give the little green fella a well deserved vacation.)

Cameron Posted April 17, 2006 Yoda, don't you think flowfit is the better introduction to bodyflow then straight bodyflow tapes? Doesnt' Scott now call the bodyflow stuff Prasara? Doesn't he say you should first "clean the slate" with intu flow or WW before Body flow/Prasara? Just trying to make sense if it all. Ok, time for some simple kettlebell snatches.

Yoda Posted April 17, 2006 I don't know. I think Scott uses bodyflow as his introductory flagship. I think it does a better job of teaching breathing and catharting tension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) I thought you said before you didn't go far with body flow? Are you changing your story now that you are an rmax initiate? Don't back peddle Yoda! *sips tea* Edited April 18, 2006 by Cameron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda Posted April 18, 2006 Well I do have a long ways to go on the bodyflow program. When I started I had misplaced my ability to do a deck squat. I could barely do one. That definitely sucked. Now, I'm fine with them and amazingly getting pretty close to having my heels touch the floor in the downward dog. Which is great progress! I asked Scott why he thought that progress was so fast in body flow: http://www.circularstrengthmag.com/forum/v...pic.php?t=10451 Also in the general discussion section, there's a snoop dog translation website that translated Scott's page. Very funny. Maybe we could translate a thread here on taobums? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
