"The greatest person to quote for an Ido Portal video is undoubtedly Ido Portal" - Ido Portal

I was sitting on a chair before watching this, but right now I'm squatting on my chair.

*"You are as old as your spine"* - Chinese Proverb If that isn't the truth, i wonder what is .....

This isn't cruel. This is eye-opening kindness.

If Ido Portal has taught me one thing, it's that "We can move."

Ido would be the perfect acting "Syrio Forel" at Game of Thrones hahaha

"We fucked it up, we made chairs." !!!!

YES ! Two movement researchers/Masters/players/experimentators/Teachers/Scientists ... of the highest level teaching together . That would be excellent.

"I DON'T JUST KNOCK THEM OUT, I PICK THE ROUND!" - Ido Portal

"It is all human patterns" - Ido McFlorian

very pleased to see that things i have done and said in my classes intuitively have been reflected here. I was today years old when i first learned about idos classes

"We can move" - Ido Portal "Yes we can" - Barrack Obama

Please look up FMS(Functional Movement Screening or Systems) this has fairly up to date research and science behind squating as well as other functional movments for your core stability and joint stabilization. It is used by fitness professionals that work with those that are in the top of their respective sports to help diagnose and treat joint instability. Squats are not inherently dangerous, it is the lack of knowledge when it come to proper biomechanics that can make any movement riskier.

2:40 This reminds me of that scene in _Aliens_ when Corporal Hicks checks the ceiling for xenomorphs and he shines his torch on them as they are crawling towards him.

Wow... I am so glad that I found you and this video online this changes my perception of fitness and what it should really be about.

My favorite line was perhaps, "If you cannot go out of alignment, you are weak."

Wow, some really beautiful things were said here!

Moving is something I have loved since i was 18 anything really martial arts cycling running swimming climbing. Im 35 now and have had real problems with disc trouble in the l4 5 region. I feel injury is taking my love away. I am frightened that this is it now ...no more activity. Have you had experience of working with injured people and how you approach their training. I love your videos and look forward to each new piece of the puzzle from you. respect

LOL specialization... he is also a butcher, baker and candle stick maker, folks! Great salesmanship, just like the Gracie's. Reinventing the wheal and selling it people who don't know better. Still, I am grateful for your work, it brings attention to ancient wisdom, keep it up.

Truly inspiring Ido, not just in your words but in your movement.

Love the Kill Bill references.

Holy godamn s...omething...I absolutely love your speech.Amazing, useful, true and world needs it more than anytime before.

The friggin wisdom of Ido Portal is undeniable.

That resembles many things from capoeira angola. Great to know someone who is putting some concepts we explore there into audible words. This knowledge is very important!

I only recently discovered you and your videos and I find them fascinating and inspiring. I decided 2 years ago at age 41 to abandon my fairly sedentary way of life and I started training with sandbags, skipping, kettlebells etc. Lately I'm getting bored with it and I'm becoming more interested in movement and bodyweight training. I'd love to incorporate some gymnastic type movement into my workouts. Do you reckon it's possible/advisable at my age. How would you go about doing it if you were me?

Doing animal walks at the gym is a great way of freaking out body builders... But getting a more functional body. Handstands are awesome as well.

Right on!! "Create new patterns, if you use it, you won't lose it" (Ido Portal)

"I am hungry, let's go and get some lunch" _Ido Portal

It's called "Ginastica Natural", a method developed in Brazil by Alvaro Romano. Based on natural biology, yoga and jiu-jitsu. Google it.

This guy really needs an audience for his self

I like it. got to change my business plan and start spending less time on the computer.

I understand him...genius

Keep the good work!...big thanks from all of those who think about movement

2:46 Incredibly wise. Profound. Never could have thought of that on my own. And then he swore? Truly a hardcore fitness man. Heres $10,000

So much PASSION! 💪💪

Thank You Ido Portal, I needed to find you.

Would love to see this guy when he’s 55

He says at 4:25 'if you can not go out of alignment, you are weak'. In other words, be water, my friend.

Amazing mind set... love it!

the kill bill's reference killed me hahahaha good stuff!

The music choice is right up there with the message of the video!

Been following Ido for years. I think its awesome that Connor is bringing him more attention

“Computerization is detrimental for human health” (c) scientists in the 21 century “Plastics is detrimental for human health” (c) scientists in the 20 century “Fuck it - CHAIRS are detrimental for human health” (c) Ido Portal

Nothing beats scientific evidence more than good old personal experience. Don't rely on scientists too much... they are constantly changing their minds!!!

hi from chile! im in love with this discipline!! i stay in the pc all day!

I’m 67 and I’m more aware of the truth in what he is teaching than I ever was in my prior 50 yrs. in my teens I was big into weightlifting , in my 20’s yoga, in 30’s to 50’s weightlifting and endurance. After that an epiphany regarding what I needed ( helped along by shoulder surgery LOL ). We are descendants of apes Are body reflects that- so why not move the way are body is designed to do. Meaning no overhead heavy pressing since apes pull things toward them not press things away from them!!! Result= pull ups, curl ups, rope / pipe climbs. No more bench press but plenty of push ups in various forms. As a result I’m strong yet haven’t had to go to a chiropractor in over 5 yrs when I use to go frequently. As for legs- I don’t do squats with barbell anymore but plenty of step ups with dumbbells, squat jumps with front split before landing, one legged split squats, etc. and recently added deep squat walking Plus stretching lots of stretching

this man is THE MAN. period. very inspiring,motivational.....pure truth.

This video has inspired me. Thank you!

Ido, I love your whole approach to movement. I would love to attend a seminar should you be in the US anytime soon. If you could come to Texas, even better.

1:58 i see you dendi

Wrestling is the first hand to hand combat exercise, everything that human moment is and can be preformed, learn to defend yourself, human industrial civilization is a violent society. Great video!

Mma has a price... boxing has a price... he is still right.

At 2:00 Ido Portal: everything has a price, Milton Friedman: “nothing is free”. Ido = Milton? LOL!

BIG FLOW.... movimenti archetipo! big love

Wow. Never heard about him before. This is enlightening. Huge. Wim hoff level.

"If you can't move out of alignment then you are weak" That's good. It's psychological counterpart is: "When the going gets weird then the weird gets pro"

“Let them dirty the walls” thank you sir!!

great man

"It doesn't matter what you can load in proper range. If you can't go out of alignment, you are weak" Truth

"Where do we come from?" -Every human on earth...

Fantastic! This is the tipping point for me, I'm signing up for one of your events.

I am not a librarian. Evidence is something nice to get from research and conclusions can be drawn more efficiently, but if I waited and relied on that as the sole source of information to make my decisions about movement, I would not have been here today - both personally inside a fully functional and somewhat movement-able body, (you'd be the judge) and as a teacher with thousands of students around the world. Good luck on your research.

Love this. I can't get over how much I agree.

I’ve added some of your movements to improve my breakin. Thanks Ido

I need this... Im in!

Straight from the CrossFit handbook - don't specialise, constantly variate, surprise the body, be inconsistently consistent

the concept of your work is amazing.

I m big fan of yours

Kinda narcissist.. However it looks very interesting and beneficial, would love to learn it

touchbutt has a price !!!

I got to admit, im impressed!!! Damn man, i wish there was more people like you around. Something very inspiring about you, and different. I like your approach to life and training methods, im glad i subscribed. Best of luck with your training.

a fantastic good surprise on my youtube:::::::: thanks, jimmy merrelli

Specialization cannot be avoided. He's specializing as well and it's movement.

I'm glad I'm seeing this. Thank you.

Always inspiring!

Squates create imbibition. Now you got something to put in your searchbar at pubmed or wherever u find your research. GL with finding your references.

Fucck I wanna take this class

this guy is awesome

The Man, the Myth, the MOVER! Ido Portal!

NICEEEE!!!

one question : what if my lower back the second spinal bone is cutted into two pieces horizontal and du to a stabilisation bone 1 to 3 has gotten one long bone without flexibility , what would you suggest , the spinning moment of my spine is now another one , would you practice the same movements or would you adjust to this shifted spinning point ? i have that since 2004 i am lucky to have survived and more so that i am not paralyzed but i have to take pain killers an the easiest movemnts out of my hip cause pain

how much contact did ido have with gymnastica naturale and what are his opinions on gymnastica naturale?

Are you coming to the US anytime soon? I so want to train the Ido method. Is there any guides that I can get started in today?

Cool Video. Hey Ido, I understand that everyday you are perfecting and exploring yourself. Just curious as to what movement or skill you are trying to reach as you are now? For instance, beginner want to do a free handstand. Is there something you want to do but cannot or at your level is it now just perfecting?

You are amazing obrigada

Why do they all wear shoes?

4:22 = So is Ido saying here that there is no such thing a "improper form" and almost all movements are "safe" as long as you progress into them appropriately? Or am I miss interpreting the message.

Any movement is healthy if we use our inate learning skills to look at our function from a place of curiosity as opposed to goals. Goals arrive this way not from resistance. Our only true research is drawn from a willing self. Cheers

Is that Gheorghe Zamfir on the backround playing his panpipe?

Another good one.

Ido is a talented man did anybody think like him before? Im sure he can help those who need PT in rehab.

what is the outro song?

Wise words, Ido!

you can hate on the messenger .. i bet you did nt try it for 6 months to experience... i bet you you will be supprised and you would have learned loads .. (for me its not the teacher its the teachings i follow and that way i actually meet loads of teachers .. i simply decided lets try it and see .. and its the most refined movement and power training i ever did )

Truly inspiring Ido !!! What about swimming?you don't mention it at all..
