Discussion of Primal Posturing at a recent KFM Instructor Camp with Sifu Alan Baker

This clip showcases a segment from an instructor training camp for the Keysi Fighting Method, which I lead twice annually. One of the key topics we cover is what I call "Primal Posturing," a detailed exploration of body mechanics. This study focuses on subtle changes and nuances in body positioning that enhance structural integrity and athletic ability. Many of these adjustments are reminiscent of predatory animals stalking their prey. This concept is similar to practices in traditional Shaolin Kung Fu, where animalistic movements are integrated into martial arts training. My initial exposure to these ideas was through Shaolin kung fu systems years ago, and I was thrilled to rediscover and apply them within the Keysi Fighting Method later in my martial arts journey.
.
For me, Primal Posturing is closely linked to what I refer to as "state" training, which encompasses the physical, mental, and emotional states you engage when you "flip the switch." This is the critical moment when you find yourself in a scenario that demands your absolute commitment-when you need to escalate your response to exceed the maximum on a 1-10 violence scale, reaching a 15. Developing and training this switch is essential for effectively handling such intense situations.

I enjoy your inside fighting

[@AlanBaker]

Thank You!

[@JoergSiegwarth]

I‘ll explain it to my students very similar. But most important to me is the switch in your mindset. It automatically lets sink into a more readiness and forward attitude. It‘s like some predator is knocking on your door and you will hold the door and don‘t let him in

[@AlanBaker]

I agree, I usually just start with the physical attributes of the state, since most can connect with that easier.

[@JoergSiegwarth]

@@AlanBaker Totally agree also. Mind follows body. It is easier and follows a better understanding. It’s good didactics to do so.
Thank you, sir. I am very happy of this exchange.
