Functional Martial Arts

General information

Als movementriX bezeichnet man eine Übungsform, in der der eine Partner führt und der andere folgt. Oft folgen beide Partner einem vorher festgelegten Ablauf von Angriff- und Verteidigungstechniken. Während ein Partner ausschließlich angreift, muss der andere sich dagegen verteidigen und Gegenangriffe durchführen.

Dadurch werden Bewegungsabläufe und Distanzgefühl trainiert. Je nach Erfahrungsgrad der Teilnehmer werden die movementriX immer schwerer. Das Training schließt alle Muskelgruppen mit ein und garantiert das nötige Auspowern. Eine Grundfitness für die Teilnahme am Training sollte vorhanden sein.

What is movementriX ?

movementriX is an empty hands aspect of the Functional Martial Arts and is at its core a boxing art. It is different from the boxing that most are familiar with.
In movementriX you use every part of you body as a tool to strike just about every part of the opponents body.
The fact that the Functional Martial Arts are known for their skills with bladed weapons is seen in movementriX as the movements mimick the movement of the blade.
Some know this art by different names; Filipino Boxing, Panantukan & Mano-mano, to name a few, but they are all essentially the same art.

Some aspects that make this art very unique are:

The use of each sides equally: Practitioners will train both side of the body so that they will be able strike well in either a left or right (southpaw) lead .

Body manipulation: One goal is to off balance or move the opponents body by pushing, pulling, sweeps and takedowns. These tactics put the opponent into a position which limits their offense.

Limb destruction: Another unique concept of the art is limb destruction. The techniques are not only focused toward the face and body, but also will intentionally attack the limbs. The point of that is to render the most dangerous tool an the time less effective. An add benefit is distraction with pain to open up the main targets.
