Intermediate ElasticBody

The feeling of lightness is important in agility and speed. In this course we explore a number of methods to help you recognise and develop the feeling of lightness so that you can move more quickly and with greater changeability.

Co-ordinations and whole body springs

Although the methods of ElasticBody Phase two are relatively simple, they require work and time to develop. We use stretching and springing methods to develop lightness, then focus that through 'Counter Movement' where we change plane and direction in an instant.

Contextualise with a partner

Partner training and application ideas add depth to your understanding of the ElasticBody. Becoming light and working with an external stimulus will fire up your action/reaction skills and link them to your ElasticBody attribute.
