THE SIX COMPONENTS

MOBILIZATION OF THE WRIST

Wrist mobilizations are simple but fundamental movements to prepare hands and wrists for Animal Flow movements. Prepared wrists are very important to the success of both beginners and experienced Flow-ists, which is why it is the first of six components.

SPECIFIC STRETCHING FORMS 

The goal of these forms is to stimulate a combination of flexibility and stability (ie mobility) throughout the body, building “strength through movement”. Each FSS (FORM SPECIFIC STRETCHES) starts in one of the basic positions and moves through and to various final moves. These movements can be used as conditioning tools or integrated into flows.

SWITCHES & TRANSITIONS 

The S&T are the core of the “flow” in AF practice. These are dynamic movements that can be linked together to form infinite combinations or can be used alone as powerful exercises. The four basic S&T categories are Underswitch, Side Kickthrough, Scorpion, and Front Kickthrough.

ACTIVATION

It is also a way to bring awareness to your body and its interaction with the ground. The AF practice uses two activation positions, Beast and Crab, which are fundamental forms in the overall program. 

TRAVELING FORMS 

Traveling forms are animal locomotor movements. They represent how we imitate animals to improve the function of the “human animal”. The basic traveling forms are known as the ABC of animal movements: Ape, Beast and Crab, along with their variations.

FLOWS 

Flows are predefined sequences in which movements are linked together to create a continuous series of movement. Learning a flow for the first time can be a workout in itself, it is advisable to practice each movement separately before putting them together in the flow. After learning a flow, you can decide how to use it, as a complete workout or integrate it into your workout. How you get the most out of your flow is up to you.
