A major focus in my weekly class is ergonomics in postures and movement. A measure of development is to find those points where the disconnect happens in structure and balance. Even relatively simple actions can cause structure and balance to break if we arent mindfully practicing to maintain ergonomics. In testing ones ability, its not a matter of whether posture and movement breaks, but at what point they break. In my opinion, it is that point that should be used to measure ones ability in martial arts, not the number of techniques one knows. It is something I continue to focus on and test myself with throughout my day to day activities. A key point in the article: You can eat gluten-free, get eight to nine hours of sleep in a pitch black room, exercise daily, and drink a ton of water, but if you’re not moving with good form, it’s a problem – especially if you’re playing sports and lifting heavy weight. Look, if you’re going to live to be a hundred and twenty years old (it’s possible), you have to start treating position and movements as a skill. ~ Kelly Starrett marksdailyapple/the-missing-link-movement-as-a-skill/#axzz2jEOKDSEK
