[CandFjacob]

your movements actually make me jealous. Fuck iv incoperated some scapula strength building workouts and wrist workouts into my morning routine. hopefully next time you come to Toronto ill be able to join in and learn to do what you do. ahha even if it takes a few years ;)

[SpudxMuffinz]

Do you have tips for beginners and how to be able to balance?

[belsicilia]

I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.  And coupled with Krishna Das...where do men like this exist?? :)

Namaste

[AlexRichard1984]

[MtAwakeningAroma]

[poopsackin]

Hey how long did you have to practice these moves before you finally got it down?

[AmmanValleyFreakOuts]

hey man, awesome video.

Too bad I live in a different country. Would love to have lessons about building up body strength and balance.

[jkrrr69]

it's not much good but it's a god damn PROFESSIONAL

[lampubaca]

Wonderful and inspiring, many thanks for sharing your journey!

[codedxxx]

@portaldo: how do you think up your moves? I've always thought of incorporating most of them into my daily workouts but have found that I always fall short. Either I do not have the strength required, not coordinated or flexible enough to perform them.

[mithor1]

Mamash madhim!

I have to ask, have you ever had wrist problems from doing this? I seem to get wrist pain pretty easily just by practicing capoeira a few times a week. I don't know what I'm doing wrong - is there anything specific you should or should not do, maybe the position of your hands, fingers, anything?

[GedMustoPT]

Truly Inspiring Video, balance, strength and agility all executely perfected...

[speedyman290]

I finally found the song !

to those wanted it the song is

Hanuman Chaleesa from Krishna Das !

[speedyman290]

@speedyman290 Someone asked me in PM that she can't find the song.

The song is from the CD1 from the album Live on earth.

[67sum]

i think he has a little machine in his body that turns gravity off.

[darknesy]

Amazing video, beautiful song...anyway what's this song name?

[mukika36]

Great video!

What is the title of the number anyway?

[portaldo]

@mukika36 Which number, buddy? This is just playing around.

[Kaplony]

@portaldo Its a language translation "failure". I think he means: what is the title of the song?

[MrCosteffective]

@portaldo he/she means the song...

[FedorCroCop44]

@portaldo is this mostly strength or balance which 1 do you need more of ?

[stonedwheatthins]

@portaldo I think he meant the song.

[matthk]

@portaldo 'number' in this context means 'song' or 'track'.

[steadman85]

@mukika36 ember...a szám angolul track :D:D:D:D

[kamubek]

How to make it favorite?

[kamubek]

@kamubek

Ok, I found it!

[kamubek]

I've tried to do exercises like these when I learned to my final exams in PE. It's time to try it again.

Fantastic video, by the way.

[beafeater12]

"Bring balance into your strength work..." I thank you for new training ideas and inspiration!

For me it's great to see, that somebody on a high level still makes so obvious progress (its just my personal opinion) and is never too tired to learn and try out new things! Big Respect!

[SHates]

Inspiring video!

[balipadda]

That is extraordinary skill! Where are you based and will you ever be in Australia???

[portaldo]

@balipadda Where I am based... I have no idea. Its been a while since I've been all over the place. Citizen of the world, I guess. As for Australia, I would love to come some day, organize something and perhaps we will meet sooner rather than later.

[balipadda]

@portaldo I hear ya! I'm hardly in one place for too long - another citizen of the world! Will spread the word and see if maybe a workshop could be organised...

[Scotty1137]

Amazing!!!

who's singing?

[portaldo]

@Scotty1137 Krishna Das

[hendershot2121]

@portaldo What is the name of the song?

[PKSpooling]

amazing

[NiftyVT]

3:05!!! =0 Airbaby to one arm handstand! Nice Ido! Are you working that so you can just press it up without the leg swing bec on the last one in the video it looks like you are close! Favorite Added! I badly want to practice right now but by back is sore from all the one arm QDR, one arm elbow lever, airbaby work, headstand and press handstand work I did yesterday! =)

[portaldo]

@NiftyVT Nift-man, I actually can do it without a swing, but through leaning into it. But that wasnt really a goal of mine. I am playing now with some one arm presses and going down to QDR from the one arm.

[NiftyVT]

@portaldo Thats nuts! Keep it up and post a video when you get the one arm presses, I would love to see it!

[Fotakou]

Ido,I made up my mind.....when I will finish university I am gonna come to Israel for 3 months to train with you,then I will spend 3 months in Rio with Contra Mestre Itapua Beiramar and then 3 more months in Bahia training with Mestre Moraes....... :D

[portaldo]

@Fotakou Sounds like a plan, only its been a while since I am not in Israel... Check up on me when you are free of obligations and ready to kick your own ass in training.

[chachiichachiii]

@portaldo How long would it take beginner to work up to the more advanced levels like an L sit, V sit, Hand stand push ups, A manna, or a planche. Also i was wondering if you could show us a stretching routine to increase flexibility in one of your next videos :)

[ransuru]

Well done mate.

[abeiramar]

So this is Ido, The israelian guy who plays with gravity. I do recomend you see this video and be mazed. Looks easier than it is believe me!!!

[portaldo]

@abeiramar Haha... Ita, when are we going to play around with gravity together, my friend? Come to Europe by Aug or lets hook up in the US after.... Abracao, meu amigo.

[White1nsane]

A lot of hard work has been involved with this. Think I'm waaaaaaaaay behin...envy. :)) Great Inspiration.

[AviadM]

Your handstands are very similar to Livewire (tim shieff).

You should search for Livewire, he has great handstands and balance as well.

[FritsMB]

Portaldo, very inspiring video. You are an artist, the way you play with balance and gravity. FritsMB

[gyia]

Portaldo, parabens pra sua trabalho!

Your work is very inpiring not only for me, I guess! Keep going on your way!

[portaldo]

@gyia Thank you, camarada. If I inspire anyone to do anything, I am glad.

[cemicalali]

[macacolaranja]

Será que alguém sabe que música é?

Anyone knows what the music is called?

Bom trabalho já agora, parece que você leva a vida num bom sentido.

[portaldo]

@jfinch10 I plan to be in NY around Sept. Send me an email and I will let you know when and where.

[vinceconditioning]

I read the other comments and I see that you travel a lot. If you come to Montreal one day I would really like to know.

[ShiraYaz]

The progress never stops. Or more correct, YOUR progress never stops. Thanks for sharing!

[portaldo]

@ShiraYaz Vilha, I love what I do, hence I do a lot of it... Hope to drop by and visit you once I am in the US. Send my love to the playground gang. Hugs.

[Jonasparkourbremen]

Such a beatiful video.

maybe I´ll visit Berlin for some time in the next months Would really like to train with you then if you wont mind. I usally practice Parkour but I really like capoeira.

[portaldo]

@Jonasparkourbremen Drop me an email once you are here.

[Jonasparkourbremen]

@portaldo nice, will do it

[angryufo]

really inspiring music, what is it called ?

[matzedaemon]

i guess u won't come to germany :-\

[portaldo]

@matzedaemon I AM in Germany. I will spend the next 4 months in Berlin.

[Polarcupcheck]

Excellent. Not just quality of movement, but great production quality as well. You really put up a memorable one there.

[gloryhood]

Damn! I remember when you posted a video holding one handed stand for 10 seconds not too long ago, you progress very fast! The thing is, me and you have very similar hand stand skills, but I think you do them better than me. I've admired you for a while now and would be interested to learn from you. I'm friends with Steve Atlas, who I know you know. I have a pretty free schedule these days. When are you training with Steve again? Maybe I'll come with.

- Jamie

[portaldo]

@gloryhood Jamie, thanks for the kind words. Contact Steve about attending a workshop when I am there at Aug. Steve brings me there and he is the man in charge. Looking forward to seeing you there, Ido.

[Bruceleekungfoo]

Awesome!!!!

[Lulukitas]

I suddenly think in Capoeira Angola :) awesome!!!

[parkourbetim]

Awesome! Great control.

[Hanfgranatenwerfer]

[portaldo]

@Hanfgranatenwerfer Krishna Das. It is really something, ha?

[Demus15]

Fantastic work Ido. Just shows all you need is a floor for a great workout

[portaldo]

@Demus15 Thank you, my friend. Hope to meet you in person one day and do some training together.
