“The main problem with attempting to flow usually is getting to a ‘corner’ or a bump in the flow, a place from where at that particular moment you cannot continue from. The CSF’s main concern is to create a rounded, circular system with no corners or bumps, that the practitioner will be able to continue flowing in, moving infinitely from movement to movement.” – Ido Portal
Once you have started to get comfortable with the following floreio movements, you can string them together:
- Role
- Au Cortado
- Corta Capim
- Rotations Into Low Bridge
- Rotations into High Bridge
- QDR Rotational Push Up
I have attempted to list the combinations in the order with which Ido presented them.
Here’s the outline of this blog post:
- Two movement sequence (6 combinations)
- Role & Au Cortado
- Role & Rotation into Low Bridge
- Role & QDR
- Au Cortado & Rotation into Low Bridge
- Rotation into Low Bridge & QDR
- Rotation into High Bridge & QDR
- Three movement sequence (3 combinations)
- Au Cortado & Role & QDR
- Rotation into Low Bridge & QDR & Role
- CC Rotations & Bridge Rotation & QDR Exit
- Four movements (the final closed system flow)
- Role & Au Cortado & Low Bridge & QDR.
