this is very helpful- I do a similar walk but with one difference: I scream "ao-ake" with each step. the higher the pitch, the stealthier the walk.

my martial arts teacher taught me how to do this for wearing thin soled shoes in the city. This is a great way to walk, althoug a prime "default" way to walk, don't forget that there are many ways to walk safely and naturally acording to the enviroment and clothing.

@Panpiper Heh. Apparently I've already seen and commented on this video. ;-)

@spiorad8008 You were taught 'wrong'. ;-)

@HandsomeSasquatch When I learned to fox walk, I also learned to run the same way (on a gravel road no less). I was never informed that it was two different things and I've never perceived it to be. Foxrunning is just moving quickly, using your feet in much the same way as when foxwalking. I can walk quite quickly while foxwalking. It is true though that I will shift to a running gait quicker than other people who are walking heel down.

I've been foxwalking whenever barefoot for nearly 40 years now. Most people never even notice that I walk differently than they do. Once you have the hang of this, there is nothing contrived or artificial about it, it looks perfectly natural, because it is.

I find there may be a great gap between walking and running. It's very hard for me to foxwalk fast and I tend to transition into a run. Fast foxwalking may be impossible.

So I read that indigenous people would foxwalk as well as foxrun. Is this even possible? because I cant foxwalk more than a few feet per hour. or is foxrunning a different technique than foxwalking?

Great video

the way the foot is shown to touch here is not how it is taught at the Tracker School. Both Tom and his son taught to 1) touch the entire outside edge of the foot, 2) roll flat, 3) transfer weight.
