Ido Portal on Fighting and Movement

[Degen Gambler]

• portal.idoA fight is a form of body to body communication.
  A corporal conversation of sort.
  
  Attack and defensive maneuvers are actually only a part of a bigger picture and will lose their effect if not organized properly.
  The best punchers/kickers in the world are not necessarily the best fighters out there, since there is MORE going on in 'between the lines' - those more elusive, harder to conceptualize aspects that should also be approached, practiced and refined if one is to be optimally prepared for a fight.
  
  Some exemplary aspects of the 'Language of the fight': *Techniques - a knowledge base, vocabulary or lexicon that allows one to answer and ask appropriate questions, comprehend, digest and react. It is based in collective knowledge - refinement through experience of generations *Principles - master keys opening many doors vs techniques which are a narrower scope answers to questions. A principle can manufacture techniques. Techniques can work/fail if following/not certain principles. An example of a principle can be 'Framing' - something that keeps reappearing in many ground and clinching techniques. Titling it, conceptualizing it and refining it will help a fighter make sense of totally new scenarios in a better way. *Movement Quality - pronunciation and articulation of the techniques and other movements - generally an area that traditional martial arts are more focused on but usually with a decreased focus on Aliveness, (A term created by Matt Thornton) reality-based practice, dealing with chaos and non-cooperative training. *Spatial, Timing and Composition Motion Skills - grammar and musicality, placement, displacement and the rhythm of the words / movement / techniques. An area more commonly present in the greats of boxing but even in MMA demonstrated by few unique fighters like Anderson Silva, Dominick Cruz and Conor Mcgregor.
  
  A fight is both a very specific scenario with great need of specialization and at the same time an unknown, present-unfolding general movement riddle with infinite parameters.
  I am of the belief general movement tools can benefit a fighter in the RIGHT dosages tremendously. #ufc202#conormcgregor #idoportal #movementculture

[$uicideboy$]

[Papawash]

It's amazing how one can build a brand by touching butts in the park.

 

[MMAAAM]

I'm surprised he didn't fit quantum mechanics in there somewhere...

 

[TheTimeIsNotNow]

Definitely not reading that

 

[surgeyou1]

Ido said Conor is still a white belt in human movement. Imagine how dangerous he will become once he gets the yellow belt.


He's going to be unlocking chakra gates like my ninja Rock Lee soon.

 

[lyndon955]

sounded like someone asked Stephen Hawking to narrate a bar brawl

the whole way through i was thinking does this guy actually know anything about fighting? i thought he was just a touchbutt coach

 

[PoaaH]

 

[HHJ]

Hail Ido. I love it. They see the guy contort in ways they could never imagine and their just like..."well...FUCK that guy!!!!" Gotten to by flexibility

 

[Exemplar]

Snake oil salesman.

McGregor isn't a sucker...

[FleximusPrime]

 

[Lawblaw]

[TheScorpionDude]

Fucking cult leaders man...

Hope Conor is doing this for publicity and not because he believes this shit.

Never go full Tom Cruise.
