Training And Getting Chased By Tigers

Training And Getting Chased By Tigers

So i dig a lot of the “how to move better” type crowd

Like this cross crawl move, training rotation, training gait, etc

What i don’t dig is the fact that it’s usually just not done with any intensity

Literally like it’s just Winnie the Poohing around talking about feels and oh yeah that’s good and yada yada

But i realized during my first set of these

How that doesn’t work

Like i was going slower in the exercise - not slow in terms of the speed of my acceleration into the impulse, but slow in the sense that I was thinking about how i wanted to move in between each rep

And then it clicked for me

That stuff doesn’t work. And it just felt so non stimulating and incorrect

Cause really, for us to say that training is effective, it’s gotta work when you’re getting chased by the real tiger in the jungle trying to run for ur got dang life

Maybe a little exaggerated

but i think you get the point

I don’t want to have to think about how i move. I want to feel it. Not think. But feel - DO

As an integrative whole

And there’s a big difference

Cause if what you’re doing does not allow you to just dive all the way in - spiritually, mentally and emotionally AS WELL AS physically

Then it’s just not going to transfer or be effective or stick for you

It was just funny cause I remembered “oh yeah i used to do this”

I used to over analyze over and over and over how i moved

Till i trained myself to be in position (physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally) to not have to do that

Which was a relief tbh lol

And look man it’s not like you ever get it permanently  -gotta choose to do it every time

But it’s a thing, no doubt

I realize a lot of this may not make sense, hopefully some of it does (or not) but it’s what was flowing for me today

And yeah, if none of it makes sense, at least know it’s a sick rotation move to add to the mix
