- Freedom Within the Body: Martial artists aim to achieve full body awareness and management, allowing total command over their bodies to execute desired movements effortlessly.
- Fluidity and Grace: Mastery of movement manifests as fluidity, precision, and grace, contrasting with stiffness and rigidity that limit options and movement capabilities.
- Developable Skill: Contrary to belief, fluid movement is not an inherent trait but a skill that can be developed through focused practice, understanding, and refinement.
- Holistic Approach to Training: Achieving bodily freedom requires a holistic approach to training, emphasizing various areas including understanding body mechanics, flexibility, strength, breath control, mindfulness, adaptability, creativity, and body-mind integration.
- Consistent Practice and Repetition: Mastery of bodily freedom in martial arts demands consistent and disciplined practice over time, with self-analysis and introspection to iteratively improve.
I used to be super fluid as a teenager, natural doing handstands, kart wheels, flips, parkour etc. I gained about 70 pounds as I grow older(mostly muscle) and lost alot of fluidity from lack of pratices. Now I'm back to it to regain what I've lost
This is actually a very common occurrence with people that pursue the bodybuilding route. They often end up coming to the more movement based stuff when they realise the excess weight becomes a hindrance. Glad to hear you're getting back to it though. Good luck! 👍
@@grantstevensma thank you brother appreciate, your videos are great
BULLSHIT!!! FLUID ON YO BRAIN, THAT'S ALL!!! ( OCEAN BRAIN MUUUFUCKA)!!! 🤦🤦🤦🥴🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
'Flow like water...'
I approve this message. 😁👍
Your a brilliant martial artist Grant, very thankful for you sharing your philosophies and skills
Thanks very much brother 🙏
I’ve been doing parkour for 10 just stared mma but the transition has been amazing! Parkour teaches you to control your body through urban environments, flips vaults etc, lots of mental challenges more so than physical honestly!
Incorporate Animal/Primal Flow into your weekly routine. It will change your world.
You are an absolutely amazing martial artist! So inspiring!!🎉 Skyrim...YAS!
Thank you haha Skyrim it the GOAT
My lad was a covid kid, missed so much in team sports given his age and when covid landed it put a full stop to his athletic development. Now a novice boxer / kick boxer, I have been attempting to find the words to describe this very concept in a way he could understand and access intellectually (bright beyond his years). When I discovered and shared this video with him it clicked the light on for him - and for that I am grateful. Thank you for your thoughtful articulation of a complex subject delivered in accessible language. Cheers!
Dude, that is awesome to hear! What a meaningful comment thank you 🙏
Great video. Thanks as always for sharing your wisdom. Have an Epic Day Grant.
Great work and workout, the masters would be proud. 👊🏼
Really good advice here mate, love the content. Keep it coming
Brilliant advice! Thanks Grant😊
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Dancing helps with fluidity
💯facts!
Great video! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Vital advice for all martial artists/ contact sports. Kudos.
Great video as always bro
Short sweet to the point, I feel motivation, and validation as well.
Easiest the biggest thing to fluidity is weight. Skinny people are generally fluid and chubby and obese people are generally not. Too many people thing it's a fitness thing or something which isn't true. Weight and fat are the biggest barriers.
Very true, as well as inflammation is a big thing that generally comes from a poor lifestyle and diet, which ofc plays into being fat! There are some bigger guys that have good fluidity though, like Tyson Fury. It's definitely possible, just more difficult.
@grantstevensma Yeah. I would say it's the biggest predictor. After that like you said some big guys can be mobile. I think about most heavyweight boxing champions tend to be pretty nimble. But of course we could also surmise that it's possibly because they have elite tier genetics the average person isn't going to have as well. For me personally it was crazy how more fluid and mobile I became by losing weight. And how much I lost from gaining it. Night and day difference.
I agree I started boxing a year ago and I don’t believe I’m being cocky when I say I’m better than people that have been boxing for years because I grew up playing basketball and football everyday and I already knew how to jump rope, being an overall athlete and extremely coordinated I think will translate to any physical sport you do
Unless this isn’t what you meant
Yeh bro this is exactly what I was getting at in the video. You’re right on, including the thing you said about it being fun and playful. That’s key!
To give a basketball example, when Jordan was asked by college basketball parents how to improve kids skill. He said the most important thing is you have to fall in love with the game
@@grantstevensma yeah I agree with that 100% and it is probably the number 1 factor in making yourself stand out if you don’t obsess over it you are limited compared to the one who is. Gonna check out more of your videos and subscribe, thank you and keep going 🤜.
Thank you for the information
focus is everything when training, slow is smooth smooth is fast
facts
You are correct!
All the styles are far too limited to only practice one technique.
If your enemy can counter that one move, what else do you have?
Facts brother
Great stuff as always!
Keep these videos coming bro, super helpful ✨🫶🏻
Thank you brother keep killing it 🔥
I love your channel. Pure gold
Thanks I appreciate it
This video absolutely blew my mind.
It's everything I am trying to encorporate and encourage with my clients as a coach especially trying to encourage people at my martial arts club to treat their training as play/having fun so that they can become more in touch with themselves.
Man I'd absolutely love to be able to conversate with you. Your way of thinking is brilliant and your ability to translate it is brilliant. Keep doing what you're doing sir it's so very refreshing to see someone who's truly in touch with what they're doing and delivering their knowledge to others in such a positive and well thought out way. I will be fowarding this video to all the fighters that I train.
That is awesome to hear bro, Im glad you appreciated my explanations and way of thinking.
And yes, it's the no.1 thing. I think people take things way too seriously when the simplest things always contain the greatest ROI.
If you would like to talk in person, I do offer 1-1 calls that you can find the link for in the description.
Peace bro!
really really good video on a really important topic! well explained mate!
Thanks Itachi!
Great vid bro. Your explanation are the best on the web. Take care 👍🏾💪🏾💯
Thank you
@@grantstevensma please keep up the good work
Thank you for this. I’m stuck on my back right now due to a piriformis injury - one which I know was caused by an imbalance of training. The pain sucks and is really hard to accept as a very active person.
A weird synchronicity brought your video to me and it’s timely. Thank you for your perspective! God bless!
Thank you man, I hope you heal up soon and get back to it
A very interesting and entertaining video
A really game changer way of train ! Thank you !
I’m glad to hear it
These videos look very well made and high quality I have no idea why you don’t have more views or subscribers
Thanks brother, I really appreciate the kind words. I think it's because I have only really been pursuing the channel about a year, combined with the fact I don't like doing stuff just to get attention, clickbait type stuff if you know what I mean
Subscribed 💪🏾
Nice thanks
I also think making it playful is important not that you aren’t taking what you are doing serious but that you are enjoying it and making it play like dancing at least this is my approach to boxing that I think really helps me and I enjoy it I think that’s important too
Great knowledge brother
Keep it up 👊 ❤️🙏
Thank you my man!
The timing of your uploads are amazing, it's like whatever i've been thinking about and want to look up you've already uploaded a video on. I'm grateful for your videos, keep it up
Glad to hear it brother
You've just gained a new subscriber, fantastic videos
Thank you!
Marcus Tyrell is speaking to me via this guy here ftrough to Nok
Cool video
Grant Steven Systema speaking through via means via means of Marcus Tyrell how develop this trainer or instructors to Nok , dexterity etc
Awesome vid it’s funny cause I had recently realized that I was focusing too much on one aspect of my training. Which took away other parts of my training which it had led me to a plateau, the past week or two I felt stagnant. Wondering why I feel stuck in the quick sand. But I’ve found the answer a couple days ago, so already i have been seeing massive improvements in my over all fluidity! Training it’s like a puzzle you can’t be complete & evolved when pieces are missing. So I’m happy that I’ve figured it out that breathing control during exercises part. I’m lock in with that as-well because it’s my breathing control that’s gassing me out quickly not so much of the muscles itself, other than that great vid!
That's so true dude, when you said 'Training is like a puzzle' and you can't complete it if bits are missing 🔥
@@grantstevensma 🔥🔥🔥🔥
yo, u smoove asf! Great footage. More content please.
Thank you man, more content coming 👍🏼

Great video my friend! When are you going to write a book?
A few people have asked this man, would you be interested in that?
@@grantstevensma absolutely!
Can you talk about CTE in combat sports that's the biggest thing that keeps me from starting
Hey bro.
Would you rather take a bit of damage in the gym and training, and be ready for the worst case scenario.
Or be caught in the streets outside, in the worst case scenario, with no training.
@blunt182182 No one is fighting in the streets these days. It's bs if you are going to fight in the streets, it is very likely to involve weapons, or you can just avoid the fight.
For streets defense or general self defense in a public space just get a gun license.
In my country it's more likely to run into terrorists than to get into a street fight
@1998jroy lol you should definitely learn some grappling for the purpose of weapon retention. Icy Mike did a video on this.
CTE is a big thing brother and head guards don't protect you. They're more for preventing cuts and scrapes. What i'd suggest is finding some gyms that are forward thinking and focus more upon technical sparring so you can learn... Just go into them and be honest about your concerns to gauge what they're about. And the advice to take damage in the gym is wrong. If you go to Thailand and try to hit the fighters hard in sparring, they won't spar you. Even the highest level ones, so what does that tell you?
First
Bioneer brought me here. Thank you.
Excellent! Thanks.Which video did you see?
Hey by the way what is your fighting style please
I don't practice one style man, rather a multitude of different things I've learned combined. I detail them here:

I hope you see this. and take the red pill, Learn the work of the greatest martial artist of all times, Wang zhiang zhai. His holy grail is Zhang zhuang or standing meditation, "...the mother of the movement is the stillness..." Blessings

Glad to hear it man!
If you are reffering Bruce Lee, you got the definition of fluidity wrong. By being fuid he did not ment to move fast or "good," he meant to use your opponent's moves and shapes at your favor and flow with it. Like it is done in BJJ or Wing Chun.
Literally Lee used a river as s refference, the water and shape of the river follow and depends on the terrain.
In other words fluidity depends on the opponent not on yourself.
That isn’t what I was talking about
Entah le.. mungkin Salah faham apa yang di maksudkan.. be the water..
Skip the first 4 minutes.
It's a shame listening to a bit of valuable explanation is too much for your TikTok ruined brain
