Video Details

The discussion focuses on a specific movement technique that requires maintaining balance and posture while navigating through a challenging gap. The key point of the technique involves keeping the back off the ground while maneuvering through the space, which is made more difficult by an uneven surface feature. Participants are guided through the correct positioning of the legs and arms to successfully complete the movement.

Participants are instructed to position their front leg as close as possible to a bar, while the opposite hand is placed on top of said bar. The procedure emphasizes the importance of transferring weight efficiently onto the front leg as they pivot. This aspect of the technique is critical, as it allows for better control and balance while attempting to remain off the ground at certain points in the movement.

Overall, success in this technique hinges on maintaining a stable center of gravity, effectively utilizing arm positioning, and careful weight distribution. Mastering these elements enables participants to navigate the gap and keep their body from touching the ground. This method not only enhances mobility but also strengthens full-body coordination.

Key Points:

  1. Maintaining a back-off-the-ground posture is essential when navigating through a gap.
  2. Front leg positioning and efficient weight transfer are crucial for balance during the movement.
  3. Proper arm placement aids in achieving control and stability.

The Lesson

Repeat the level-1 underbar but now you must pass under the lower section of a two bar railing.

Demonstrate three underbars to the left and three to the right where you finish away from the bar.

Start with one foot forward and the opposite hand on top of the mid-bar. Pivot on the forward foot as you reach under the lower railing.
Grab the higher railing and continue turning until you pass underneath.

You must keep turning in the same direction with the head leading.

As your legs come through, you should lead with the knees, not the heels of the foot.

This must be performed on a hip-height railing that has a mid-height railing at knee-height.

You must not lay or sit down on the ground or use the back on the ground.

You must perform the underbar in one movement.
