I bought a swiss ball or stability ball recently, mainliy because I wanted to do some balance and stomach exercises with it. However while doing some research on possible exercises I came across some Brazilian Ju-Jistsu drills that utilise the ball in a novel way.
And also this guy
I've been playing around with these ideas (and falling on my arse all over the living room, it's like being 5 again) but I've also started playing around with similar ideas standing up, using the ball against a wall while practising push hands drills. It seems to work really well because the movement is fluid and the rebound of the ball gives you feedback into your body, so you can check your body position as you move. It's early days yet and I'll keep you posted as to any progress.

Welcome to the blog of Adam Lammiman. I teach Tai-Chi in the Minehead area of West Somerset, I'm also a yoga teacher with the British Wheel of yoga, practicing in a style heavily influenced by the teaching of Vanda Scaravelli and finally I'm qualified in Hollistic Massage with the Bristol School of Massage and Bodywork a member of the MTI. The aim of this blog is share my passion for Tai-Chi, Martial Arts, Yoga and Bodywork. This will include links to stuff I think people will find interesting as well as my own writing. I did keep an earlier blog here: http://www.donotthinkofablueelephant.co.uk/ but I've let that fall by the wayside. Feel free to have a look around there though some of my opinions have changed (which they tend to do if you keep growing) but I still like some of the content. |
