CAN YOU RUN LIKE A TRIATHLETE AND TRAVEL WITH JUST YOUR BODY? CAN YOU WEIGHTLIFT? CAN YOU FLIP WITH A BIKE ; BOARD OR SKATE OR DO EXTREME SPORT? CAN YOU JUGGLE WITH YOUR FEET? CAN YOU PLAY TEAM SPORT OR MORE THAN ONE? Ido is more of a capoerist (martial and dance or breakdance) not really jack of all trades
@@BezmenovWasRight CAN YOU MEDITATE? Ido portal needs it cos you can easily see he is driven by ego and imbalanced anger. No judgement but he is uneasy and lacking peace in himself and I dont blame him! There is a lack of holistic art and values in society and he knows it but his approach is not good; but hey at least he is moving and inspiring change!
"information eventually paralyzes you..." I love this statement. as a yoga teacher, I have seen it happen so many times,event to the great masters. keep an open mind and a free body. great wisdom, Ido. thank you!!!
@Bamboo Training I’m not sold on what he’s doing really, but what I got from it is that the more you know, the more limitations you have. I could elaborate on what I’m saying, but I don’t truly know what he was getting at lol. Idk bro
@Bamboo Training You don’t understand it at all then,and that’s okay.This is just a small snippet some random guy took from a few videos lmao.His point isn’t to be good at boxing at all,it’s simply head movement training /reaction training.He does EVERY movement he can.His job is to not specialize.Specialization has a price,as you see athletes who play one sports stay healthy but their body’s are always fucked up past 40.ALL OF THEM.Powerlifters,aesthetics people,basketball players,football(soccer),American football players,rugby,baseball,softball,all of them.Your body takes constant forces at the same place and at one point it breaks.Also Connor mc Gregor dosent reply to IG comments that much,does that make him a douchebag?Ido use to have a blog where he would reply to people.People who are successful and dedicated like him don’t have time to respond cause they’re focusing on their craft,they don’t waste time online like us,only to learn.
He's got a point about the pursuit of aesthetics being a backwards pursuit that leads to a lot of mobility problems. After almost 10 years of powerlifting and bodybuilding I'm attempting to repair a lot of mobility issues and injuries from the ground up.
Best of luck with the rebuild, I get a lot of strange looks and comments when I work out with my coworkers because I try to add some of these elements in my workouts.
Lol so much hate for Portal xD. At the end of the day, this guy is in better health in every form, much better shape, and makes more money than 99% people hating on him(including me haha). Oh and he'll also be able to fully walk and wont be bound to a cane or a wheelchair while most of us in our 20's are already having back problems and arthritis. :///
Indeed! And Ido did bring something new, maybe not so much exercises, but a perspective, a correlation between movements and disciplines, filtered out useless stuff, made the aim of the practice generalist, and above all, created a Movement Culture.
Thank you Arash! I'm always happy to so new stuff of Ido. He seems like he doesn't want to show much of what he can do but you captured it in a beautiful way! Very high quality and perfect editing. His movement is so flawless. Just Inspirational.
A truly beautiful philosophy. Ido has made an amazing impact on my life to better myself as an overall better human being physically, mentally and emotionally. Thank Ido!
+James Murray You think Conor and other UFC fighters would have been trained by this guy if he was a bum? No. Your lack of understanding of the professionals within the MMA community doesn't define those people's worth. I'm sure you have heard of the Beatles, right? Can you name each of the producers / audio engineers that worked on their records? No, yet those people are highly valued and indispensable assets. Apparently you think getting a video on RU-vid is the ultimate achievement in talent and respect.
Lack of understanding ? Mma community ? That was the first camp he was with mcgregor,and he was only there at the end, he will get a shit load more views after being associated with him , get out the dudes arse you little dweeb
James Murray Because RU-vid views define his success? When or if you ever become a professional, you will learn that the respect and admiration of your peers is much more valuable and useful towards your career goals than the attention of the random public or people on RU-vid. MMA fighters didn't just randomly pick up some bum off the street. He obviously had a reputation big enough to have professional fighters seek him out, which is far more important to his career than kids wearing Tapout gear fingering their keyboard.
As a 59 year old man, I have spent more time trying to improve my ability to move. I use the balance ball for squats, 52 lbs in the backpack and hiking over different terrain, and the mobility sticks. Love his ideas. Glad I found his site.
This is amazing stuff - I started doing a Russian Martial art called systema about 3 years ago. I have not been this mobile since I was 8 years old. Just learning how to make the ground your friend and linking the breath with movement is beautiful. It's a gift that should belong to everyone. Well done on an inspiring piece of work.
Out of all kinds of workout i have tried/studied. Strongman/crossfit/running. THIS is the one true way of training your body. Movement is everything, Movement is vibration. Moving is everything.
Some of this movements remind me of Systema warm ups I used to do. Getting in touch, feeling the free flow of the body, being able to move every body part independently, firm, yet plastic.
Big fan of ido and his philosophy on movement. I still sometimes find myself hung up on aesthetics in regards to training but the more I immerse myself in calisthenics, gymnastics and things of that nature, the more I realize how much more beneficial it is to things I do in life.
Thank you Strenght Project/Arash for this amazing video again! I really like the way you are shooting these vid's (and also some old CT Fletcher vid's :) )
"Empty your mind.. Be formless shapeless, Like water. If you put water into a cup it becomes the cup, If you put water into a bottle it becomes a bottle,If you put water into a teapot it becomes a teapot. Now Water Can Flow Or It Can Crash.. BE WATER MY FRIEND" -Bruce Lee
Ido Portal ! I have never met you, but I've studied and befriended the wisdom you're talking about. Wisdom is not the matter of knowledge, it is the matter of experience. As a personal trainer, I have been helping people by Yoga, Calisthenics, Breathing, Meditation and therapeutic self-massage techniques and now, I feel a deep love for your method. I will come to be your student.
But please, don't come and train with us if you're vegetarian. Regardless, the message is meant for everyone, don't forget that, even if Ido doesn't agree with vegetarians and refuses to train with them.
Yea man, i believe you will dude. I know you get a lot of hate sometimes, which is normal I guess, but I can see your dedication. Just don't forget about your first subscribers when you get big k?
+mike honcho What!? We are on the top of the Food Chain.. We are the most Deadly animals alive. We kill, we Climb on top of eachother.. The only thing im focusing on is accepting my true nature and ascend from animal to a higher beeing.. Most People look at them self like something diffrent from a animal, when Our nature is much more violent than animals that mostly kill for Food...
I'm American, and I'm sick of people saying America is "the stupidest country in the world." Personally, I think Europe is the stupidest country in the world...
That was pretty amazing. I don't necessarily agree with everything he said, but still this man is very inspirational and had some great views of life and the world in general.
This guy is true inspiration, and THAT is the body i would most love to achieve, its does not only look good but it enables you to do all the fun things movement can bring to your life! Move for happiness!
It's ok to focus on aesthetics if that's what u want. I do all. I was an aerial artist for years and still do my patterns but after incorporating some body building style workout my body looks fitter, according to co-workers who hasn't seen me in awhile. I can still do my splits ans inversions and I'm actually stronger in some ways due to gym
ido.. i more than appreciate your philosophy when it comes to movement and engaging others to open their minds to the possibilities of what their bodies are capable of. ive tired to show others they way to see it as well. thank you for your discipline.
You need to last and be as healthy as possible to enjoy love for the longest time. Developing love to move many years back changed my life in every aspect.
when i was at age of 16 i started muscle training and i started to get this "static strength" but now i changed my philosophy of training in boxing and i realized who much i hurt my body cause i lost much amplitude of movement. Your philosophy is very interesting, i'll inform me about it
ladies and gentlemen this is the future of mma training. Everybody laughed when Conner Mcgregor was working out with him before Ufc 194, then mcgregor knocked out aldo in 13 seconds flat effortlessly and relaxed. My boyfriend has now become a student of movement and flow with his martial arts and even with writing poetry in hip hop. You can apply this to anything. We Are All Teachers
+LignjoslavLignja Man you don't understand. UFC is just a FIGHT business where you see ppl go at it and fight for money. Ido has cured 100s of ppl from pec tears, from knee injuries, from ankle injuries, from spinal injuries, and from probably depression. Ido goes it deeper at his seminars and his movements camps.
I am blown away that someone like you exists. I always thought I was alone in the love of just, moving. I love moving and being alive. others may find it strange or awkward, but movement is incredible.
YES we are the best movers in the planet!!! I cannot imagine a chimp doing rings, or a tiger doing muscle ups, or an elephant performing a back flip, or a dog doing capoeira or yoga. We are capable of imitating any animal in the planet, maybe just a little bit, but there's no animal able to imitate our movements, we can dance, we can run, we can swim, we can jump, we can roll, we can plank, we can fight, we can build things, we can cook, we can manipulate technology, we can paint, we can film, we can have sex in amazing ways, and either you like it or not, all of this is movement! For does who say that we are not the best movers, you are saying that because you don't know how to move and you probably spend your day in a chair or just walking around! Open your mind and get out of that dogma!
I am sure you also need to open up your mind and get out of that dogma. Why? Because this is just a pointless argument. Sure it is inspirational, but really silly. Everything depends on the context and assumptions. We can't be the best movers on the planet, because we are inferior in water and we are absolutely nothing in air. Many animals can beat us at our own movements. In my opinion, being the best mover is not so much about our unique capability, but whether we can compete with other animals. Ability to dance, have sex in amazing ways and paint, does not exactly help us to escape from a hungry lion. Moreover, most animals are proficient at the things that they do, whereas humans aren't. An average person cannot do rings or planks or do a back flip, so how do they show that we are best movers? I do not know! And yes, I spend my day in a chair when I study or read, I walk around when I go somewhere. I also workout 3-4 times a week :D
Swordkiller show me a chimp driving a car or making crazy position while doingn sex or building a house or cooking gourmet or doing capoeira or back flips or doing an open hart surgery... because all that is movement to... don't be dogmatic dude.
Swordkiller Ido wasn't talking about surviving or beating up another ass or about earth pollution... he was talking about movement... and yes, I could tottaly have sex hanging from a tree with one hand and in an inverted position. And yes we can swing from trees like chimps if that was our gol. And what would be with our intelligence if we weren't able to move.... manipulating objets is movment either you like it or not... keep on arguing non-mover, im having fun with this
David PL Please make a video of you, haning with your own weight, and the weight of girls from tree, thrusting a girl, i would like to see that :) Evolution has no goal, so you can impossible now what our "goal" is, since there is none, we have evolved into creatures of endurance, all creatures of the earth move, tell me 10 that dosn't move, at all, and is alive, even fucking trees move. Your arguments are vague, if there are any, none of what you say make sence, and you know nothing about my physical abilites. and it dosn't matter what he spoke about, what he said was incorrect, we are NOT the best "movers" on this planet. And iam sorry to say this, but EVERYTHING is about surviving, surviving of the fittest, natural selection.
Swordkiller to do that video i will need a girl with hanging abilities and a porn channel to upload it. When I mentioned goal, I didn't refer to evolution goal... I was taling about an specific goal. I don know why you want a list of 10 creatures thar doesn't move and I dont understand why you mentioned trees movements... My arguments are valid for profesional movers.... Ido spoke for movers.... And surviving depends on movmente but also can't understand why you mantioned surviving matter... Any way... this is like talkin about God's existence or politics... when opposite minds are confronted is very difficult to get to the point. Im sorry to say this but we evolved to what we are because of movement... thats why we stop walkin with 4 extremities and thats why our spine managed to be in a vertical position. Do you even squat PROPERLY? Greetings!
Thank you Ido. Everything = Presence, Love, Beauty, Motion, Truth, Continuance = Happy. I'm happy knowing you would be happy for the changes you've made in our lives. We carry the glow of your spark. Keep up the good work. Smile. You're Everything. Love you All.✌💚🤸♂️
I do not think there is anything special about him not caring about aesthetics. There are too many professional athletes and just normal individuals who do not care about aesthetics and look like that. Sorry for being negative ;)
I am really starting to like Ido's stuff and his Ideas, but the video is almost completely for aesthetics which is the opposite of what he actually says in the video, and teaches.
Yes but for a huge majority getting this level of aesthetics will involve loosing quite a bit of freedom of movement, and plus he actually says in a another video (I think the London reel) that he doesn't really like to promote his videos with the aesthetics, but I guess he has to. Anyway his relationship with Conor Mcgregor will take care of any publicity right now for the next long long time. Good luck to them both, they are ahead of the game and pioneers.
This is so much beyond this whole site, and the whole fitness culture, and beyond even strength itself. Ido's views cannot be compared to the others who had videos here at Strength Project.
OmarTheShit goddamn you i was just about to stop caring what people thought nd practice my movements in parja or public places with perfect area for it but i would just be the dork in the park damn you omar damn you to hell
I just wanted to share that this video really inspired. I started moving because of it so thanks :) I just struggled on how to start doing it, but I'm searching and doing a project on my channel about that. Hope it leads to progress :) Thanks
