Scott Sonnon Threading Scorpion Bridge Progression

[chronicleavez]

[breakdancerQ]

[clubbellslinger4life]

the threading scorpion bridge is really cool! never got to exploring that will try however! not sure why people hit the disslike botton bridge training was the most fun back in the early body flow exploration days! cool moves

TO Thermaxgym!! SO DARN TRUE!! Doing this while your young and doing this in your 40's are two different issues.... I played college football and wrestled. One day I woke up (37yo) and my neck bother me.. So I got a MRI after 2 months of moderate pain.. Diagnoised with DDD and etc, etc.. Doctor said I had these issues for years.. Young people look at your parents and grandparents if they have issues very good chance you will have them too!! I never did that and my father since his early 40

How is it that he is sitting in front of a mirror and recording and you don't see the camera? That's how badass he is.

Fantastic stuff Scott,

I have the Prasara book and instructional DVD and am making quite a bit of progress. Some of the movements are difficult to understand, but it is quite rewarding (not to mention it feels great) to be able to decode and execute new movements. As a fellow dyslexic, I would like to suggest adding "direction" and "degrees" if you make a revision to the book. Example: 'roll 90 degrees to the left.'

[hotsuma4]

we do it in wrestling all the time.try it one handed and clap

[thermaxgym]

@hotsuma4 Of course it's from wrestling. In addition to being an international champ in Sambo, Sanshou, Sport Jiujitsu, Submission Wrestling and amateur MMA, he was the 1994 AAU Grand National Championship gold medalist.

You're still very young. The goal is to move like him when you're in your 40s like he does in the video.

Wow good point well made mate :) thanks for the quick reply love what your doing.

[closecombatuk]

should i try to bridge to my forhead scott?

[thermaxgym]

@closecombatuk Many people should not physiologically. It depends upon your genetics, vocation and background. If you have the right genetics (cervical structure), vocation (a job which doesn't involve sitting), and a background free of injuries to your neck, it's possible. For me, because of my joint disease, because I'm a fighter with constant pulling on my neck and because I've had my neck broken, it's contra-indicated. And the benefits can be gained through other methods, anyway.

[hydrojin7]

awesome, awesome exercises

just lettin u know ahead of time that i will be using these!

[priest101]

what is a good key to remember when doing the bridge one are lift up?

i cant seem to get my hand barely off the floor

cheers!!!

[vaatc]

4 years without training and 2 abdominal surgeries in the last year makes even the basic bridge pressup hard. I have a looong way to go.

[djcross1]

Hi Scott will these movements strengthen my core or are they more for my back and flexibility?

[piggypoo]

awesome. lemme go try that now.

[hentorri]

I dont care what scott's tiltle or label is....his movements and flow progressions surpass most martial artists and yogis ive trained with. Bytheway...beautiful progression.

[rscranman2002]

Fantastic movement :)

[john51880]

Wow love the Smooth flow! I bet most d1 wrestlers are wishing they had the strength and flexibility shown here----and don't!

[Naga7206]

Great bridging idears and demo thanks again for posting, again Guru Sonnon whats the backing music for this its really cool?

[spankmeyer]

Great demo and workout ideas!

[mark9868]

Amazing!!!

[chessman71]

Wow! One-arm inverted pushups? This material will keep me busy for a while. Thanks for the progressions. They come in handy.

[PT23LF]

Hey Scott! Great stuff! Just bought your ebook Perfect Fitness for the UFC - any chance to get active links you mentioned in the book? Would be great!

[CuriosBeholder]

beautiful.

[Gabkicks]

yeah this stuff is good. I remember i was learning bridges in wrestling class and break dancing at the same time. the power moves in break dancing are great for strength and control in jiujitsu too :p

[TheAntiUTube]

thats hardcore, i'm gonna try the one armed ones a little later

[LycanEduarth]

Wooooooooooow

O.O

Very Nice

[ChrisGraeme]

thanks for a helpful video.

[buildingbodies]

So helpful. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

[zodiactheory]

awesomeness.....pure awesomeness

[matthewmovement]

That last one is sick. Great exercise. I'll definitely include this into my own work.

[ferjepoba]

Very clear progression and an impressive demonstration of incrementing thanks for sharing are you coming back to the UK at all?

[Stonefists]

Brilliant Scott this is just what I was looking for after seein' you do it in your other vids. Does anyone know a gradient step to get to the one armed bridge though as my arms struggle strengthwise(they're not weak!) I suspect it's actually due to lack of flexibility!
