Quadrupedal Movement

Recently, after coming back to my dojo, my teacher showed an interest in a lot of the exercises I do for warming up and such. This week he was making a trip to the founder of the discipline I train in and he wanted to show him some of these exercises so I made a video for him.

Enjoy!

Jujitsu

Getting back into it pretty heavily again, it was something that was missing with me and I definitely have enjoyed getting back into it so far. Not as rusty as I thought I was but there is still a good deal I've forgotten.

Recent goals and whatnot

For some reason I've got the bug to start working static holds as I haven't before so most of my goals are surrounding that as of now.

Main goals:
Cross (Be able to lower from support into Cross and back up into support, also be able to hold for at least 5 seconds)
Straddle Planche (hold for at least 5 seconds, eventually I'll work into straight planche as well as push ups, that won't be for a while hahaha)
Front Lever (with my current rings set up I'm not sure what the best plan of action is as for working up to it but I want a 5 second hold at least and front lever pulls eventually as well)
Back Lever(Want to work on consistency with this one, I have it most of the time, but I want it solid, every time, at least 5 seconds, and I want to be able to go from back lever to support)
Handstands (want to get it more solid, at least 10 seconds, every time I go into it, no moving. Also working towards Full ROM Handstand pushups as soon as I find a place not as crazy as rings lol, I want those as well, Handstand on Rings I'd say is the main goal here as well as Minute freestanding)
L-sit I have the ab strength but my hamstrings are stupidly inflexible so thats the main issue here, I just need to work flexibility and I'll be fine I suppose. Want to work towards a minute once I can do a proper L-sit)

and what I'll be doing for those goals
Cross-Cross dips, Cross pulls
Straddle Plance-Tuck Planche on rings, for time, pseudo planche push ups, frog stands on the ground
Front Lever- Skin the cats, Popping into front lever, straddle front lever holds
Back lever-Skin the cats, Back lever holds, Back lever pulls (being upside down, going as low as I can and then back up to upside down)
Handstand-Bent Arm Presses, Handstand Pushups (head to ground), Handstand holds(against wall and not), RTO Dips
L-sit- Not working yet :/ Open to suggestions for Hamstring flexibility


Thats pretty much the gist of it as of now, hopefully I'll be able to get these within the year if I keep dedicated, thats the basic goal, we'll see how my discipline holds up hahaha, I'll be sure to update with any....updates haha.

I'm definitely open to suggestions for working towards these skills. I mean who doesn't want help?

Peace

Youtube Account Changed

I decided to fully get rid of the whole zujitsu name so I could stop taking publicity from that martial art and whatnot and made a new youtube account to house all of my videos so far as well as any I make in the future

Here it is

Enjoy!

Unconventional Training Grounds- Suburban Training

I'm starting this series of videos where I basically train in otherwise scarce or uncommon places, in an effort to foster creativity in other people as well as give them some ideas for conditioning and technical training tools in those areas

Here's the first one

Suburban Training



Enjoy!

(Thanks to Zachary Cohn for coming up with the idea of making this a series!)

Txpk National Jam

I was thinking about making my own write up of the National jam but I feel Zachary Cohn gave a great description of it so I'm deciding to post his up instead of flood you guys with a bunch of different accounts
