A New Level of Connection

Develop your ConnectedBody

The ConnectedBody foundations was one of the most popular MartialBody courses, and with good reason. Connection gives you a clear advantage in the martial arts. A well developed ConnectedBody will feel stronger and more powerful. CB2 introduces depth of connection in more natural postures and movements, while developing strength in your body.

New postures and new connections

Creating connections between the major body lines worked with in the Foundations courses is a big focus of this course. We train new postures using advanced concepts to maintain the connection around curved or arched postures.

Moving with Connection & awareness

It is all very well to be able to maintain connection in static postures, but Martial Arts tend to be more dynamic. As such, we teach you how to retain connection when you move, working with specific flows and postures, and embedding the skill

Strength in your connection

Utilising Isometrics to enhance the strength of your connection, you will also learn innovative methods to training your ConnectedBody. Power and strength cannot be overlooked, and you will feel the difference from this advanced work!

Partner training & context

Learn methods of developing your ConnectedBody with a partner, with the ever innovative and practical partner games. Also included is a dive into some of the ways connection helps in martial scenarios and situations.
