Dynamo Concepts Training Videos, Part 3: Generating Power in 3-dimensional Space

This is the third in the series of Dynamo Concepts training videos, dealing with generating power to all directions from a static position, including the basic drills for priming basic movement patterns. Any action we perform should be powered by either one or a combination of these movement patterns, otherwise it will be lacking power. Another idea that emanates from these movements is the rhythm of power generation: since we can generate power by loading and unloading our structure in specific ways, our ability to apply force depends upon which part of 'the beat' we find ourselves. We will have the opportunity to elaborate on the subject of rhythm later in the series.

The first two of these movements I have been taught by Alexander Ivanovich Retuinskih, founder of the ROSS system and I believe it is worth noting that he also uses these exact same movement patterns for a series breath training exercises, aiming to improve integration of movement and breathing.

I hope you find this video of help. Make sure you send me a message in case there is something I can explain in more depth.

Train smart, train safe, be your own instructor,

P.S.: The drills might remind you stuff you have seen in traditional Chinese martial arts. Please keep in mind that power generation is not a cultural issue :-)
