When I first started in the martial arts, I trained in Korean styles. I started in Tae Kwon Do when I was 9 years old. Then it was Hapkido and Kuk Sool. Each of these arts had Hyung, or forms we would have to practice and master for each belt level. So every belt level had a specific Hyung(form) to learn in order to progress to the next belt. These forms I equate to the body weight flows found in my system. My body weight flows range from simple into more complex and dynamic in nature.
In my Kettle-Jitsu Revolution Dvd, we start off with the basic burpee as the foundational movement for these flows. Then, we build off of that into more complex flows. A lot of these flows contain actual movements used in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and mixed martial arts. So in essence you are practicing essential mma fundamentals while practicing your conditioning. Kettle-Jitsu bodyweight flows are designed to enhance your fitness, conditioning, agility, coordination, focus and timing. The great thing about these flows is that they can be taught and practiced by any one! In the enclosed video, I have long time student Rosanna assisting me. She is a wife and a mother. But as you can see she flows effortlessly with the movements. Proof that you do not have to be a fighter to train like one!
Remember, the movements in this video are not meant to be instructional. This is simply an example of some of the flows found in my system.
