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

@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.

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.

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.'
