Denzel Walking Style Explained-Walking Technique with The Walking Code. Denzel Washington has a distinct walking style in movies that is as iconic as the sprinting style of Tom Cruise. It is purposeful yet relaxed, authoritative yet vulnerable. Join me to explore this unique and beloved walking style. How did he create it, what are its unique characteristics, and what parts of the style might you want to try and emulate. We will see clips from older movies like Devil in a Blue Dress and Virtuosity as well as newer movies like Flight and The Equalizer. Specifically, I will look at the following characteristics of his walk:
Posture
Head Movement
Leg Swing
Foot Position
Shoulder and Hand Position

@Cowface 7 месяцев назад

This is the walk that I discovered! I wanted to incorporate a twist at the waist to allow full incorporation of the hips, but still be led by the shoulders, so as to remain masculine. This very walk is what I ended up with. It feels more natural the more I do it. I also do a lot of yoga and feel like this would be a lot harder without it.

@ToddMartinMD 7 месяцев назад

Glad you like it. Yoga can definitely help with incorporating those core muscles into your movement.

@majik2hanz 3 месяца назад

Excellent informational video. As an MD has there ever been a study on impact in last few decades of those plastic baby walkers may have on development of adult walk? Another would be a study of how infants progress from crawl to walk i.e. what of the development crawl technique may lead to how one walks. I ask because I seem to see more youthful men with what I call the forward doily walk than I ever have noticed before. Also the "push" some parents do to get their infant/ toddler walking for bragging rights in today's helicopter parent world. Another fun one to analyze is the overt swagger (ghetto or NY Italian think John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever) or the primal posturing one sees in public places by those over steroidal workout types. I was slow to begin walking but was very proficient in my 'crawl' technique' which got laughs in old home videos. LOL

@ToddMartinMD 3 месяца назад

I don’t know about the effect of strollers on gait as people get older. There seems to be more dysfunctional walking in people these days, but the causes are probably many. There are many different styles-some are just bad mechanics and some are cultural, where people are consciously trying to walk a certain way which may not be normal.

It should go without saying, but these are things meant to be practiced and corrected, not focused on every time you are walking down the street. The alternative for too many people is continually going to the doctor wondering why everything hurts and being told, I don’t know, here are some pills.

@twocents8355 7 месяцев назад

Fascinating. Appreciate the analysis so much and suggestions for healthier walking styles. Speaking of leading men, when I was little and noticed a height difference between a leading lady and a leading man in a movie we were watching, my dad said (of male movie stars): "They're all short, and they're all bow-legged." Ever since, the gait of male movie stars always grabs my attention and very often they do walk with that duck walk you talk about, legs kind of bowed and toes turned out instead of straight.

@ToddMartinMD 7 месяцев назад

It is very common in male actors. Not so much in female actresses because it is very hard to walk with duck feet in heels, and most actresses need to be able to walk well in heels.

@twocents8355 7 месяцев назад

Thanks, Dr. Martin. So dad was wrong about leading men being bow-legged. I believed that for the longest time, and now I know it's likely they just walk in a way that makes them seem bow-legged. @@ToddMartinMD

@ToddMartinMD 7 месяцев назад

@twocents8355 I wasn’t saying he was wrong. I have a theory that they become duck footed because the frequently have to walk slowly toward the camera, and doing duck feet naturally slows them down. Bow legs develop from that. This would probably affect leading men more because the camera is on them.

@twocents8355 7 месяцев назад

Thanks again. Have learned so much from you. I thought bow legs were something one was born with but now know the condition may be the result of what a leading man's job requires. @@ToddMartinMD

I am an AA man and have been told on occasion I walk similar to him, like a strut. When I started working in corporate America, I was actually told to work on modifying my walk because it could come of as “ intimidating “ and could be seen negatively by the client base. Unfortunately I couldn’t do such a thing so I ended up getting a government job, lower pay, but happier to be around individuals who get “ the walk” and not make a big deal about it

@glcoola2349 Месяц назад

Denzel's walk telegraphs that something is holding him back and tries to twist him but he keeps on going forward regardless. Or sometimes it communicates that Denzel isn't in a rush as he knows that he's gonna get where he's going anyways. I think the walk adds to the different characters he plays big time. His son David has the same walk in TENET.

He walks in slow motion. That’s it.

Slow motion amplifies the good and bad. People walking with duck feet look bad in slow motion.

Good video..but I don’t know if it’s that deep.. Black man have always had a dope walk..

@ToddMartinMD Месяц назад

There are aspects of the walk that are cool and other aspects that are not the healthiest. I want to give people a bit of an understanding of healthy walking while also attracting an audience that doesn’t necessarily gravitate towards videos about body mechanics. In that respect it is doing exactly what I was hoping for.

Au contraire: being intentional with your motion is deep regardless of race or gender. How you walk affects your self perception as well as other’s perspective of you. In the video clip, Denzel explained the reason why he adopted this walk-he was emulating the walk of a man he admired. Black men/people are not a monolith, we do not all have “dope walks” and we do possess the capacity for them introspection.

I love your Walking Styles analyzis, can you analyze Thomas Shelby walk? His walking style is so weird cause his arms are wide open, but people idolize his "alpha male walk"

@ToddMartinMD 7 месяцев назад

I’ve seen some of those alpha walk videos. I will consider that. If you have any links to videos of him walking that show his whole body clearly (not so dark), please share them with me.
