Here are a few drills to help create a healthier whole body:
Solo:
Walk in a normal pace and slowly lower yourself with the torso upright and than back up again during the walk several times.
Roll from one side of the room to the other and back with just the hips touching the floor
Hold your ankles and roll from one side of the room to the other and back
shoulder walk (balance with your shoulders and neck and use your shoulders as legs) back and forth
Walk up and down a wall with your fists
Lean your body with your head as the touching point on the wall and roll around and tilt up and down in all directions
place your hands on your hips and sit down, lie down sit and up again several times
roll and get up with only one leg touching the ground
With a partner:
One person plays a wodden doll and the other moves him around by placeing his fist and moving him about. Tilting, rotating and so on with the fist relaxed as possible
One person lies on the ground and the other rolls him forward and backwards and than switch
One person lies on the ground and wants to get up and the other keeps him down without hits or locks or grabbing
One person lies on the ground and wants to stay there and the other tries to get him up as the ground simply goes with the motion and escapes
One person holds to the others ankles as he walks and the other has to walk forward and than backwards.
Walk up and down a person using your fists as he balances.
Do jumping push ups off a person on the ground.
Do squats as you balance of a person who moves to throw you off him.
Try to get under your partner on the ground and keep moving all the time as he goes for the same goal. When you get there you have to keep moving.
have you partner stand naturally and move him around you using your hands and than using just your legs without hitting.
All the limits are only yours.
Have a partenr hold your foot or place it in a loop hung on a post or wall and find out how you can do full circles both ways. Try with and without sitting down to turn the rest of the way and find your own way to get from A to B.
Squat with your back upright and your heck relaxed and start to move on the ground. Have a friend push you with his feet and legs to help you free your hips and shoulders and continue till you feel the need to breath in a more relaxed way. Now add pushes with your fists to the head and continue to go with the motion only now add your own direction to get either behind the upright pusher or so your movement blends with his so there is no harm to you as you take him down. Sometimes you need patience to see the whole picture.
