Mastering body mechanics: Body control


Mastery of Body Mechanics: Body Control:

A month ago I had the opportunity to train with a world renowned fighter/trainer named Oleg Taktarov. During the session he told us that “dancers make great fighters”. He explained that they possess body control and mastery of body-mechanics, including balance, flexibility, and weight distribution. Dancers are able to detect the slightest change in weight distribution or movement in their partners (tactile sensitivity). These skills transfer into h2h combat training.

After seeing the video in the following link, I couldn’t agree more. Look at how these performers control their bodies and go from zero to explosive in fraction of a second. If they can master these dance moves; can the same be true for self-protection H2H techniques? Yes.
