• Archive: Chris Davis - Martial Body - Stable Body Destroying the structure Many of the techniques of the martial arts, especially in grappling, depend on us being able to manipulate our partner or opponents structure in some way.
• We often want to distort their posture, change the alignment of their spine, their shoulders and hips or pull them out of their base of support.
• These tactics can be stunningly effective when utilized by an expert who can get you out of balance from the moment they make contact.
• Developing natural resistance to distortion We could try to counter these tactics with other techniques or tactics of course, but a far easier way is to create a body that naturally avoids distortion.
• That is the goal of StableBody training where we ingrain an acute sense of our alignment and position.
