Parkour and MovNat have a common ancestor; the French Naval officer, Georges Hebert’s Methode Naturelle, which shaped what we know now as the modern-day military obstacle course. Everything in the Parkour skillset is part of MovNat, but MovNat also includes lifting, carrying, swimming, and other skills that complete the full spectrum of human movement aptitudes. We approach these Parkour classes through the MovNat lens, which is adaptive and approachable for everyone.

Taijutsu Fundamentals
Alex Schenker
MovNat Certified Natural Movement Master Trainer
In this course we will introduce, and deepen our ability in the basic principles and movements of Taijutsu. The program for this course includes combative skills such as striking and grappling, locomotive skills such as rolling and leaping, and physical conditioning such as stretching and strengthening.
Combative
-
Striking & kicking technique – basic foot & fist formations & application
-
Grappling – fundamental wrist joint controls
-
Kamae – basic combative postures
Locomotion
-
Rolling – forward & backward rolling for quick recovery from a fall
-
Leaping – forward, backward, sideways, upward, and downward leaping
-
Break-falls – safe falling techniques for falling prone, supine, or laterally to the side
Conditioning
-
Ryutai Undo (dragon-body method) – stretches & mobilizations for strengthening and limbering the body
-
Kokyuho (breathing exercise) – breathing & moving meditation
This course is meant to introduce new students to the foundational techniques of our practice; and for experienced practitioners to refine the underlying movements behind all of our techniques. There are a great number of advanced techniques in our art, and studying them all certainly increases the breadth of our knowledge, but honing in on the fundamentals is an opportunity to further develop the underpinning depth in our Taijutsu. This depth carries over to all techniques & related movements, and we can benefit at all skill levels from showing some attention to it’s refinement. By the end of this course, you will have have learned some movements to practice on your own, a clear idea of what you need to work on to improve, and resources to review what we covered in the course.
Through not a requirement, it is recommended that people take this course before joining regular Taijutsu classes.
