MOVEMENT X WITH IDO PORTAL: 11 THINGS I LEARNED FROM IDO

Last weekend I went to Oslo to experience the teaching of Ido Portal (https://www.facebook.com/ido.portal.1?

fref=ts) in his Movement X Seminar. Ido is a peculiar guy to say the least. I have been following the training

industry for quite some years now but have never encountered a person like him, whether its his own array of

skills as a mover or how he talks holisticly about movement. Im not going to share all of my notes and the

specifics I learned here because theyre almost 20 pages long, but will share some of broader lessons I picked

up during Idos teaching.

Here are 11 lessons I took home from 2 days of Ido Portals teaching:

1. Always look for a teacher.

As they say in business: theres always a guy.

Ido told us about how he started looking for a movement teacher as a 23 year old. He was frustrated with the

way movement was being taught and decided to start traveling all over the world to look for this movement

teacher.

He never found one. What he found was a lot of specialists: he found guys who knew a lot about gymnastics

OR strength training OR olympic lifting OR hand balancing, but never one who could teach him about the

whole shebang; the holistic concept of movement.

Ido has decided to dedicate his life to becoming that person he was once looking for himself. He admits that its

an impossible challenge, but still one worth making a lifes work.

2. There is no wrong movement. There is lack of preparation and lack of

awareness.

Ido talked a lot about so-called wrong movement: ways in which we are supposed to not move. For example

think of walking and landing on the side of your feet instead of on the ball of your feet. A lot of athletes twist

their ankles by landing or changing direction with their feet in an awkward improperly aligned manner.

A great question that Ido demanded us to reflect upon here: If we know this is going to happen to us, shouldnt

we, then, prepare our bodies for these situations???

Ido does. And he developed a process he calls The Corset for it that allows you to progressively strengthen all

the soft tissue in the body. Check out the video below to realize how preparing the body with wrong

movement could mean for example no more ankle sprains:
