how am i gonna train like i should following your advice when there are no powerbatics communities in our country that i know of coach Lee? i wanna do what you do, but i wanna do it under your watchful eye so i can learn from you everything that i need to do.... and not do😔

I disagree. How do you know strength/athleticism isn’t being gained when doing calisthenics? It’s anecdotal and subjective. For me personally, I gained immense strength, mobility, flexibility, and athleticism once I started doing cali’s 13mo ago and been weight lifting for 15 years. I love your videos but this one didn’t do anything for me.

@eacali.17 Жыл бұрын

He never said those things won't be built he is basically saying add variety to your workouts you may be able to do a hollow body hold but can u mirror it with a back bridge? Powerbatics training will definitely help you with Cali and lifting.

@weichseltraut Жыл бұрын

It's all individual. For me it answers the question I've been asking myself lately. I'm training calisthenics for about 1 year, now I feel weaker after every session. My training focussed to much on one specific point instead of movement itself, now I know for sure..

@LeeWeiland Жыл бұрын

1. Athleticism is typically referring to competitive sport or one's ability to perform at that level and not fitness/exercise. Strength, flexibility, and mobility are but singular aspects, in addition to power (a form of strength), skill (strength applied), and sustainability (strength over long term). This is part of the problem many see in Crossfit, i.e. that they tried to turn fitness into a sport. It's just not the same thing. Sport has a high degree of variability and unpredictability, which traditional calisthenics (not freestyle or competitive) as a modality of *fitness* simply does not have, which is why we use Ninja Strength (similar to calisthenics) as but 1 element of Powerbatics training. We understood its 1-dimensionality from the very get-go. And that's part of why we built katas into each element...to foster the other aspects of strength such as skill, sustainability, etc. 2. If by anecdotal and subjective you mean 1000's of data points, 1000's of students (many of whom are competitive athletes and performers), and nearly a decade officially (unofficially 30 years of teaching)...then sure 😂 3. Glad you like the videos. Don't miss the point in this one. Hope this reply helps clarify for the masses. Btw, nobody really needs to get bent out of shape...train however you want, it's not the end of the world.

I agree that calisthenics culture is dogmatic about maintaining strict form and most movements are performed in the sagittal plane with little focus on transverse and other rotations. This has become a much more pronounced issue for me over the last year. Calisthenics should be about building strength and dynamism in movements, and increasing range of motion and achieving your bodies optimal functional potential. Ring based Gymnastics is the closest and ancestoral relative to calisthenics and is about connecting skills and allowing things to flow in a rhthym and unfortunately this was lost somewhere in the evolutionary path, and isometric skill movements are seen as the pinnacle of calisthenic success.

Nice. I say things are "magic" because students often "accidentally" hit new moves. Example: front flip and as soon as you land hop half turn. Students will accidentally start landing front flip half twist. There's hundreds of these examples and frog stand is one. Frog stand for 60 seconds a day beats wall handstand every time. But people won't do the boring silly looking stuff.

Tried some of the beginner katas, they are killer! But by working on many of the athletics statics those katas can improve, I think calisthenics is just a modern word for part of athletics, which give a great base to develop more smart training systems, and this can not be a bad thing in my humble opinion, any way thank you for inspiration 🙌💪

How did katas go? Basically I'm trying to share more depth that connects movement, coordination, etc. so people can understand how to get to higher, more creative levels. Static, calisthenics-oriented like Ninja Strength, etc. are just a small piece of the puzzle.

Combining the building of strength in the basics, weight training, bodybuilding and those Katas you mentioned sounds pretty good to me. Stacking this on top of some sort of martial art would build me a pretty damn athletic physique. Would a more freestyle approach to those Katas be an appropriate or good alternative however? And how about weak link training? Overloading exercises and positions that a majority would deem dangerous, what are your thoughts on that?

The program reminds me of Ginastica Natural and Integral Bambu. The former, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sólo movement and mobility based flow incorporating animal and gymnastics like movements conducive to grappling athleticism. The latter is a system of navigating through a complex bamboo pole structure with one’s whole body requiring strength, agility, and momentum, clinging at times and fluid whole body motions at other times. This is also rooted in Brazilian workout culture.
