Video Details

The transcript outlines a progression on a physical movement often described as an underbar technique, focusing on the coordination of knees and feet during execution. Initially, it discusses the importance of speed as it pertains to lifting both knees simultaneously off the ground while moving through the bar. This combination not only aids in fluidity but also enhances the ability to spin and make quick turns, essential for agility in this movement.

Confidence plays a crucial role in successfully performing this technique. It emphasizes the need to drive the knees upward and toward the direction of the movement; a lack of proper technique — such as laziness or not twisting the body adequately — can lead to potential injuries, specifically knee impacts with the bar. Proper alignment and motion are critical to maintaining speed and preventing mishaps during the maneuver.

The session appears to culminate in a practical demonstration of the described technique, encouraging individuals to attempt the underbar movement as outlined. The overall takeaway highlights the need for intentional movements, precise positioning of the body parts involved, and a commitment to practice in order to embed these skills effectively.

Key Points:

  1. Speed and coordination are vital for executing the underbar technique effectively, particularly the simultaneous lift of both knees.
  2. Confidence and correct body alignment greatly influence the success of the movement, reducing the risk of injury.
  3. Practicing the technique with focus on proper form and intent can enhance agility and fluidity during execution.

The Lesson

Repeat the level-1 underbar but instead of stopping the turn once the torso is through, instead you keep turning until you've rotated completely out of the underbar, facing the same direction as you started. The difference to the level-2 is that you must increase the speed until both feet can leave the floor as they are passing through the underbar.

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

You must start with both hands in the correct position; One hand underneath, one on top, both crossed.

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 cannot sit on the mid-bar and the legs cannot touch the bar.

so okay so a progression on that uh
10.559
Second underbar is with speed so the
13.24
second underbar is here here through
16.4
left knee right knee and you step
19.279
through the third version is to do this
22.279
with speed and you want to try and do
23.88
this where both feet come off of the
26.119
ground at the same time so as you go
28.96
under you can hop through and drive with
32.92
both feet and it means that uh yeah you
36.2
can spin and turn quite quickly and
38.6
you've got speed as you do this um you
42.44
have to have confidence to get your knee
44.32
through but to have that confidence
46.64
you've really got to drive it um up and
50.199
towards the direction so if you go under
52.52
and you're quite lazy and you sort of
54.079
like bring the knee up and you're not
55.84
like twisting then yeah it's going to be
58.32
more likely you'll whack your knee knee
60.16
on the bar really twist direct that knee
63.6
and you'll get speed so let's go again
65.92
so from here under there there and
69.28
that's the underbar

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,000
so okay so a progression on that uh

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Second underbar is with speed so the

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
second underbar is here here through

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
left knee right knee and you step

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
through the third version is to do this

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
with speed and you want to try and do

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
this where both feet come off of the

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:32,000
ground at the same time so as you go

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,000
under you can hop through and drive with

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
both feet and it means that uh yeah you

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
can spin and turn quite quickly and

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
you've got speed as you do this um you

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
have to have confidence to get your knee

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
through but to have that confidence

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
you've really got to drive it um up and

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
towards the direction so if you go under

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
and you're quite lazy and you sort of

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
like bring the knee up and you're not

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
like twisting then yeah it's going to be

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
more likely you'll whack your knee knee

21
00:00:60,000 --> 00:01:05,000
on the bar really twist direct that knee

22
00:00:63,000 --> 00:01:08,000
and you'll get speed so let's go again

23
00:00:65,000 --> 00:01:11,000
so from here under there there and

24
00:00:69,000 --> 00:01:12,000
that's the underbar
