PART D

FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT
Butterfly Slides


SKILL FOCUS

  • Butterfly Slides
  • Body Weight Shift
  • Push Leg Extension

 

PRACTICE OBJECTIVE

At Home:

To better understand the progressions, It is highly recommended that you set yourself up in a quiet place to watch the video several times.

Then, without distractions, close your eyes and mentally visualize yourself executing the progressions as shown in the video.

By visualizing each progression and the final collaborated sequence, you can prepare yourself to physically execute the movement patterns with confidence and bring more mental awareness when it comes time to practice the skill.

Estimated At Home Practice: 23 – 30 minutes

At Camp:

In a group format, you will be guided thru each skill piece progression and finishing off the Functional Movement drill with the ‘whole’ technical skill.

Being prepared with a good mental picture of the movement patterns will allow you to maximize the benefits of the physical practice.

Estimated At Camp Practice: 5 – 10 minutes

LANDING BUTTERFLY STANCE WITH HIP BONES FORWARD


Common Weak Link: Hip Bones Pushed Forward In A Vertical Straight Alignment

When it comes to the butterfly stance, a common weak link is landing into the flared legs base with the hip bones pushed forward.

This vertically straight alignment, where the hip bones rest directly over the knees, negatively affects forward-aggressive balance of the upper body and limits hand mobility—both crucial for repositioning and reactionary saves.
