Re: Fascia, Anatomy Trains, and Tensegrity

I think it is almost a waste of time. Beyond identification, there is nothing that knowing the body parts will do to help you. I have more and more body workers showing up at these get togethers. They are no more/no less capable of actually doing this training than anyone else who doesn't have a clue of the nature of the anatomy. And sometimes they have been the worst one in the room. Although it is nice to see the science supporting the Dual spiral argument (that Ueshiba himself embraced) in that the body does spiral ACROSS the body lines and functionally form an "X" across the back. That three axis movement model and hitoemi is far less viable and defies the bodies natural tendencies.

In the end, it's knowing how to train and work the connections, knowing how to manifest and hold intent that is far more important.
