In a linear culture where everything around you is comprised of straight lines and angles, it is only natural we drifted in this direction in our movement and physical culture.
I like the efficiency of linear work, but without organic movement, it loses its meaning. This is what we train FOR.
Locomotion is one organic and very important tool in my arsenal. I've been using it for many years as part of my training and my students training. I suggest you do the same.

Unbelievable flow, ace aesthetics, cool camera work, soul soothing music, A great work of art. I feel so enriched. GOD bless you with success and happiness. Thank for sharing.
i just spent 30 mins on the first 2 minutes alone trying to mimic those movements. I believe many hours will follow. No need for hour long videos, this is raw value.
That level of control over mind and body is a once and a lifetime type of guy. So much respect for this man and his philosophy
The choreography of graceful locomotion, the music, the setting, the editing, the progressions...of all my favorites, this is my very favorite video on youtube.
You are poetry. You have inspired me to move. Thank you.
many of these movements almost seem inspired by animal movements. Please please post some more when you can.
This one never gets old. Always inspiring
The quality of your movement is simply stunning, so beautiful, you keep getting better and better! Thx for being such a great inspiration :)
Every move is so methodical and graceful. There is real intention for each one.
this is really impressive. a simple philosophy of movement and executed with extreme control and awareness. thanks for posting this, I'll be looking to add similar movements to my training
Watching this never gets old.
This video almost brought me to tears. So much beauty in those movements, so much grace.
this is so relaxing, inspiring and motivating at once! I like it. You changed the vision I had about the sport but also about the world. Thank you Ido :)
Uninhibited movement, even when simple, is so beautiful.
Man, that guy has total control over his body. I can barely manage getting up for beer and pizza.
+Lee Reynolds lol
Lee Reynolds mushin
Have you stoped eating beer and pizza in those 4 years?
@rxp56 what are you blabbing on about? I asked him a genuine question that's nothing to do with you lol, and you're in here trying to justify your own actions and talk about the meaning of life....welllll, since you asked, addictions are not pleasures mate, and yes it's fine to have them we are only human, but don't act as if it's a choice and fool yourself dude, there is no pleasure in them all they do is cover up your suffering, so by all means go ahead and enjoy your pleasures that you're "allowed to enjoy"
@rxp56 And this is why justifying your acts keeps you losing, bub.
You're a beautiful human being Ido. Good luck.
Spiderman on acid
lmao 😂
Mind, Body and Soul
im not really in to this sort of training, but this sort of body control and movement is still beyond what any modern day so called athlete can probly perform!! inspiring
As always inspiring! I will play with this stuff over the summer, thanks Ido
Beautiful! I just "discovered" you a few days ago, and I've been practicing many of the beginners movements, like the lateral push-ups and squat clinic. (I've been getting some strange looks at the YMCA.) Thank-you for the inspiration!
wicked discription , I see your exercise goes beyond the physical and into the spirtual and philosophically esoteric , any one who "GETS" this is just awesome
this is beautiful
Some of those are quite remarkable.
beautiful...and I feel the same way, there is something else you get out of moving like this, that regular isometrics doesn't provide. Something primal and beautiful at the same time even.
Excellent movement, and thank you for sharing!
best exploration of primitive and intuitive motion i have ever seen.
Mesmerizingly smooth movements!
Very cool. Filmed here in Miami Beach!
Legendary, Ido
As always very impressive, very inspirational. love the videos
Awesome as usual. Very inspirational. Thank you so much for posting. V
Beautiful work.
I remember my childhood where I was doing all these moves flawlessly and would didn't even break a sweat . Oh god bring back those days .
There is no god, only you and community.
Yeah I usually get to the office with a series of press handstands and single toe work.
Just amazing!
Thanks for this Ido
I'm glad I discovered you and your channel today
I recently restarted workout with calisthenics and I will add some of your moves that are doable everyday (I guess some are too exhausting to be done everyday if we want to build muscle mass)
I cant enjoy more this video, pure talent.. .ill achieve this no matter what (: , great content and source of inspiration
Very good my brother.
Getting out of a standard, socially acceptable workout is often helpful. Movements like this are almost never done in a gym. Since working out at home, out of doors, I have incorporated non-standard movements and 'equipment' into my exercise time. Oddly, I have become stronger and fitter quicker and without injury.
I'm 56, have always been in shape aesthetically...movement type exercises have increased strength and balance and enhanced my physical symmetry in a natural way, with natural bulk and leanness.
I'm 58. Got back in the gym a couple years ago. Lost 30 pounds and I'm gradually losing the last 20 with a goal weight of 185. Strength has gone up considerably, BUT I'm tired of being tight and sore, and continually stretching to work it back out. Started training at home home the past month and a half with dynamic stretching, body weight excercises etc. I can't believe how much looser and more flexible I feel. I'm truly hooked.
@@JB4375 Hey...I'm 58 now (for the last 12 days) and still at it. If you haven't got them get some good resistance bands. Lots of good videos on them. Take a little getting used to and experimenting but they are easy on the joints and allow unlimited angles at resistance.
@@mfawls9624 Just got some last week. 😁
@@JB4375 I screwed some eye hooks into trees in our yard so I can run them through at different heights.
I use zinc plated safety spring snap links, attached to the eye hook and clipped onto the resistance band. Make sure that you use ones that can handle adequate weight for the force you're using.
Ow man that was just awesome.. Many people don't get movement. For them this is simply ridiculous.. But this is true control. I love it. Never seen such smooth moves.. You're amazing :)
This is like combining Tai Chi and Capoeira.
I"m in awe! and completely fascinated. Teach me how to do this! :)
Namaste
Men! more videos, please! this is amazing and powerfull
Most of these moves come from Capoeira angola for whom it may concern.
Lagartixa Mansa that’s where he got his start.

Thank you ido
Great flow man
amazing. i hope one day i will have this control
This is an art.
Poetry in motion, so graceful :)
Es extraordinaria la armonía el cuerpo fluye sin aparente esfuerzo cada movimiento hace que parezca natural
Beautiful
So much control!
Great video. Like your philosophy.
All the best.
Respect ! Beautiful to watch
Fantastic video
Fascinating to watch, impressive amount of strength required. Not sure how he avoids splinters..... ^_^
Ido is amazing! When is he going to come to a crossfit gym in Arizona? I want to attend a movement camp with this guy, take pictures, let the world know about this movement practice. I love the freestyle element to this practice, I do it on my own all the time!
Una pasada!
Totally relaxing
looks primal
Beautiful. ...
beautiful
Next 2 yr goal. started 03/07 16 . Counting from Monday the 14 th . my new goal......
Thank you so much , your just great......
are u still doing that locomotion stuff like u said in the ido portal vid?
Keeping to your word are you
Yes still at it but had to add "L" sit ups and planches which r both difficult for me. Lizard crawls but add pushing 35 lbs plates 20 rep each side on a floor with resistance, not an easy push.....
Its amazing how simple it looks when the movements itself very confusing and not easy at all to do
Awesome video! :)
I wanna learn this!
just by doing it, practice it. whenever and wherever you feel good doing it.
Excellent
Wicked videos!
Che grande!!
Great!
SICK!
wuaoo !!! amazing
picture in picture of Ido strumming the guitar music himself would complete this video lol
Picked a beautiful location to do the locomotion, Miami Beach.
BEATUFUL!
I've alrwady watched this 6 times i 2 days more to come i want to get to this level of understanding of the bodies movement patterns and daily practice
i think that your vision of movement and flow is something revolutionary in fitness world and not only for that. what do you think about the movement patterns you can find in breakdance world?
Alex
harmless, effective and fun
our body is perfect for working out
how did we forget that
no gear needed
Love this!
perfect!
Cool!
IDO!! do u live in miami?? or were you just visiting? i wish to see you one day in my home town :) .. i live in south florida
Buenísimo
Wax on, wax off! If I may suggest an idea, using that bench or fence you have there seems like a good idea to explore movement. Or working on uneven surfaces for proprioception.
This is probably how ninjas moved back in the day to avoid making sounds
I don't know why but I see a lot of beauty here.
yeah but what about splinters?
magnificent
Just watching this im feeling every sliver from that wood deck
euma poesia irmao, obrigada :)
He dances with the earth!
WOW!!!
is there a progression you could suggest for the L-sit position on one of the routines?
good stuff
Cool movement as always this dude is awesome! Actually looks like a more muscular version of Andrew Ucles the dude that catches animals with his bare hands!
Interestingly, as a bboy I independently started doing a lot of these for training in breaking.
thanks. will be working this into my ninja warrior training.
Legal.
