A very simple drill to learn to relax and move from the body breath. Start from the up position of the static push up and use your breath and body to jump in the air leaving all four limbs at the same time. Do this with the thumbs toward all four corners and learn to…

Hold your breath and start doing a simple movement as hip circles or neck bows and so on. Let all the accumulated tension from the breath hold come out through this movement and take yourself a little further than you are used to. Work on doing this drill using your entire body part by part…

Take a chair and slowly sit down and get up from it as you maintain your eye sight level and as comfortable as possible. Have a partner take a pencil or a pen and as you sit down and get up he will place obstacles in your way and you will have to keep moving…

Place your hand on your partner’s eyes and move his gaze so his whole body is effected by it. For example you feel he is tense toward the downward movement so you move to the side and up and he is in your control. From this uncomfortable situation (keep moving him and moving yourself) he…

Place your hands in your pockets and go for a walk. Climb up and down some stairs with your eyes closed and over low fences and hedges. Move over or under rocks and limbs of trees and note to yourself how your body wishes to reach out and make contact and how you manage to…

Patience is a great virtue. When you are trying to control a person on drugs wielding a large stick and simply walk into the line of it you will get hurt and you may not return to what you are used to having (teeth, eyes, looks…) Remember the goal rather than the process and find…

Stand and slowly lift both legs off the ground and bring them to your body. This sounds ludicrous but consider if you relate to just your body in movement what freedom you have. Try this slowly with every breath shortening the distance between your feet and hips and you will be able to squat with…

Go outside and go to a place filled with people like a shopping center or a library. Start a conversation with a stranger and while you talk to him on (the weather, the book you want to buy, the local rugby team…) keep your eyes open to look all around note how you can move…
