Movement Camp - Day 3

 The question Ido posed to us yesterday was: "How far away can you get from your discipline?"

Of course, if you come to Ido's movement camp it is highly likely that you are quite comfortable meandering through the disciplines and playing with various movement practices.  

However, no one was prepared for JOZEF FRUCEK's workshops - not the dancers, the capoeristas, the gymnastics, the acrobats, the breakdancers, the martial artists or the weightlifters. Nor were people such as Mieka, Derek and I, who have been using an interdisciplinary approach for a solid 4 years, and are used to combining various movement disciplines.


 Who is JOZEF FRUCEK?

I have struggled for the words to describe what we are doing in Jozef's class. He strongly encouraged us not to think of what we are doing as "fighting." It seems rather to be a very aggressive and physical game of cat and mouse - think zen archer but a million times more physical and dynamic.  I will leave it at that for now. I am off to our third session with Jozef.

Movement Camp - Day 1

We are now on Day 2 of the Movement Camp in Singapore. I feel incredibly blessed to be training alongside such incredible movers from all over the globe. We had a great lecture from Ido this morning on isolation and integration. Of course, when we first learn a movement we isolate, but Ido's message was that far too often we stop there with the movement itself and bracket it off from other movement. So we took the simple pistol and we worked on transitioning in and out of it with other movements.

Yesterday we worked on the muscle up to backwards roll as well as "kip ups" (no, not the kipping pull up) but a way to fall back on your back and spring back onto your feet. We also did some breakfalling and aerial cartwheels.

We had a great lecture by Frank Forencich last night titled "The Primate's Predicament". We briefly discussed the science of epigenetics as well as the concept of "mismatch". We have succeeded in such spectacular scientific and technological advancements but at the cost of creating a very unnatural body. The body remembers hundreds of thousands of years of evolution - of running, jumping, swinging, pulling, throwing, etc. The body was designed to move, but our modern luxuries have in many ways, destroyed the necessity for movement. We have, in effect, created a zoo for humans - an unnatural and deeply sorrowful way of living that is out of step with our primal roots.

Heidi Greutzner, Flux RMT Biography
Heidi Gruetzner was born and raised just outside of Regina. After gaining a degree in Psychology and a diploma in Marketing she realized that a desk job was NOT for her.  So in the fall of 2007 she went back to school to become a Massage Therapist. Little did she know that she would fall head over heals in love with the trade.  She graduated from massage college in the spring of 2009 and began to practice Massage Therapy in the fall of 2009.  Currently she works as an instructor at the Western College of Remedial Massage Therapies, Inc. as well as a practicing Massage Therapist at the Cathedral Sports Massage Therapy clinic and at Flux Crossfit - School of Human Movement.  She joined the Flux family in June 2010 as an athlete and later as a Registered Massage Therapist in 2012. She loves to work with the athletes at the gym especially knowing what they are putting their bodies through with each movement.
