"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.
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
@@Bezmenov93 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!
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.
@ So you overdid it and hurt yourself. The training is literally focused on training your body to move better. So what is your option than? Sit on your arse?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

Happiness is in following your heart as long as you do that all this pathetic negativity coming from insolent ignorant beings doesn't matter! !!!!! Ido you're an inspiration Keep going!!!!!
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.
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
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.
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.✌💚🤸♂️
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.

+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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam. 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.
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 :) )
+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.
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.
Ido, brilliant video and perspective. There is still so much to learn about movement, but we finally have someone going in the right direction. I read through these comments n am disappointed. The mass does not understand.
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!
The biggest factor in our evolution is consciousness, and as our consciousness expands we are able to move in more ways than before and experience more possibilities. Ido Portal is on the right path by emphasizing learning new things/movements because this expands your mind/consciousness in the process. ☺
Very impressive guy, and I like his attitude and approach. However, what he said about "superior movement" being the reason humans are on top of the food chain, is total nonsense. We are by no means the "best movers on the planet", we aren't even close. Compared to a very large number of animals, even the movement capability of people like Ido is a joke; just look at our primate cousins the Chimps. Compare Spider Monkeys and the natural balance of Felines and Goats. Sure, we're smart enough to train specific motions, but we have limits and power-to-weight that other creatures far exceed. The main reason humans are on the top of the food chain is intelligence coupled with an opposable thumb, as we can make tools and traps, and of the very few animals intelligent enough able to make and use tools (e.g. Crows), none have body parts as effective as primate's hands.
"So yes the brain seems to have evolved, or I believe and many people will agree, as the instrument for motricity, the instrument to move. Now because it is so closely related to prediction and so closely related to intentionality when we make an impossible statement and say you know what, thinking may be nothing else but internalized movement. Why? Because it is through movement that we solve many things. And what is it that the brain basically does ultimately in all of us? What it does is generate premotor acts, inside it generates premotor events, all that we can do as human beings with our brain is activation of motor neurons, that is the only output. I tell my students you only activate muscles or you activate glands. To put it differently, you either move or drool, that's all you can do in life. Its true. Ok so you have this apparatus that defines movement beautifully, that predicts that has all sorts of hypotheses on which to act. So thinking is a premotor act. And therefore we are fundamentally moving animals that move intelligently. The more intelligent our movement, the more intelligent we are as animals." ~ Rodolfo Llinás, neuroscientist I would say that's "superior" movement.
Agreed. I hate it when people reach a high enough level in a certain area and suddenly they become great philosophers. The guy's a beast and I respect him for that but there's no need to blurt out a bunch of complicated sounding nonsense just to seem smart.
Yes you are right in certain aspects however humans are the only animals that can not only run but we can; crawl, invert, flip, climb, squat, hang, throw, grab, breath under water, swim, etc. In this way we are the best movers because we can move from land to water to the trees to mountains, just about anywhere. No other animal on earth can do the things that we can all together, they can do the individual movements better (such as run faster) but they are specialists not generalists, that is what makes us the best movers on earth.
You did not listen Ido much as I can see. The reason WHY we are the best movers and on the top of the food chain is because we are able to adapt quickly and learn, mimic everything and anything (not to perfection), use tools for our movement research (gymnastic rings, balls, bikes, skateboard - all of it for the sake of movement).
You took him wrongly!!! There is many interviews of Ido!!! In one of them he says we are best generalist movers and that's why we are on the top of the food chain!!! For ex : We can climb trees but not like chimps, we can swim but not like fish, we can run but not like cheetah!!! Chimps can't swim and run as fast as we do for a longer distance, cheetahs can't swim and climb a vertical tree like a palm tree!!! So we have the power to mimic almost every animal's pattern but not in a superior way!!! The reason he says humans are Superior is not because we can beat chimps in climbing and cheetahs in running but "We can do them all" Hope this clarified!!!
+Mike K but can a gymnast dance? do capoeira? do boxing? swim? hold his breath for multiple minutes? Sure, gymnastics is quite the holistic discipline, but it doesn´t cover everything ;)
after further research Ido cant even do basic-mid level gymnastics, and he claims higher level gymnastics are "impossible" if you didn't grow up doing it. that's bull shit. that's just his excuse that hes too much of a bitch.
***** I really can't believe this crap... Thousand upon thousands of people watched this video and NO-ONE knows the freaking song ? I searched every website, tried every song recognising software there is and I couldn't find it... Incredible, isn't it ?

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.
The best fitness guru on Planet! He is the reason I bought rings, he is the reason I wanted to build a body which has something more than just muscles!
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
Focusing on aesthetics…I understand now! All this time I was having a lot of trouble with explaining not being attracted to people who look good on online profiles. The way they moved in real life its different than a static picture

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
Awesome vid Arash! Love Ido's philosophy.
Ido. You speak the truth. Love you brother.
Great authentic words by Ido Portal. Especially being a teacher and information overload. Thanks strength project ;)
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.
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.✌💚🤸♂️
ISN THIS THE YOGA INSTRUCTER FROM GTA5?
Nice video Arash! I've heard lots of great things about Ido, I bet a week with him was pretty awesome!
you could teach him a lot of things
This guy has one of the most aesthetic physiques I've ever seen.
I rewatch this every year to remind myself. This clip is priceless.
I like this project, this is totally my target !!
Ido Portal ist wirklich eine große Inspiration! Vielen Dank für dieses Video! LG SanoGym 🏋️
Is it Tarzan, very cool :) thumbs up
OILRIGHT YOU GUYS
This man is talking some sense into me! Thank you for explaining me what a movement is🙏🏼
0:37 i dont care if i can flip or not..
you dont need this in life..
love one another.. thats important.
That's the MOST important, but also do whatever you want as long as you do it while not ignoring the most important thing.
You can do both, you will better off
It needs you. Love is also about appreciation ! Love is also about Hate. You must hate that which defiles love.
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.
thank you!!! first time to be introduced to Ido! never heard of him before
Check his lengthy London Real interview
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...
+Leper Messiah Europe is a continent.. oh wait i get it.
😂😂😂
He makes movement look so beautiful! Great video!!!
Legend ! thx for training McGOAT
The human species has the best bodies? I'm not sure, it depends on the situation. Put a brother in the ring with a bear...who's gonna win?
first you missed the point second there are many cases where a human succided in defending himself from a bear.
honestly there's probably a few people out there who can beat the shit out of bears.
depends on the area where the fight will be.... Human's intelligence beats almost everything, or will beat everything in future.
heyseus chang lmao maybe if masterchief wasn't a fictional character.
Ilias de Jager (Plot twist) can we beat ourselves though???
Connor just changed his bum life !!
Did you take your pills you fool ? Ido Portal helped Conor you moron.
Had you heard of him before he worked with Connor ? Exactly sit back down you bum
+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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam. 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.
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 :) )
Is there a technique to moving your throat away from someone's forearm?
hahaha
lol
+LignjoslavLignja Tap out and wait for the ref to break it up.
hahaha... were you in that situation while posting your comment?
+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.
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're in the park playing grabass with that dork..with the pony tail.
bums
The power of movement. People are miserable because they neglect their bodies and don't move enough. Movement is everything, MOVE OR DIE. Warrior.
I wouldn't drop the $2000 though
Donny Aston ?
Кристиан Паев for monthly online training
Tong Gorokh online...!? yikes...
Your paying for the experience
RIP off
Ido, brilliant video and perspective. There is still so much to learn about movement, but we finally have someone going in the right direction. I read through these comments n am disappointed. The mass does not understand.
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!
The biggest factor in our evolution is consciousness, and as our consciousness expands we are able to move in more ways than before and experience more possibilities. Ido Portal is on the right path by emphasizing learning new things/movements because this expands your mind/consciousness in the process. ☺
Ido Portal, aka TOUCHBUTT
Great video, brother. Beautiful body philosophy.
Very impressive guy, and I like his attitude and approach. However, what he said about "superior movement" being the reason humans are on top of the food chain, is total nonsense. We are by no means the "best movers on the planet", we aren't even close. Compared to a very large number of animals, even the movement capability of people like Ido is a joke; just look at our primate cousins the Chimps. Compare Spider Monkeys and the natural balance of Felines and Goats. Sure, we're smart enough to train specific motions, but we have limits and power-to-weight that other creatures far exceed.
The main reason humans are on the top of the food chain is intelligence coupled with an opposable thumb, as we can make tools and traps, and of the very few animals intelligent enough able to make and use tools (e.g. Crows), none have body parts as effective as primate's hands.
"So yes the brain seems to have evolved, or I believe and many people will agree, as the instrument for motricity, the instrument to move. Now because it is so closely related to prediction and so closely related to intentionality when we make an impossible statement and say you know what, thinking may be nothing else but internalized movement. Why? Because it is through movement that we solve many things. And what is it that the brain basically does ultimately in all of us? What it does is generate premotor acts, inside it generates premotor events, all that we can do as human beings with our brain is activation of motor neurons, that is the only output. I tell my students you only activate muscles or you activate glands. To put it differently, you either move or drool, that's all you can do in life. Its true. Ok so you have this apparatus that defines movement beautifully, that predicts that has all sorts of hypotheses on which to act. So thinking is a premotor act. And therefore we are fundamentally moving animals that move intelligently. The more intelligent our movement, the more intelligent we are as animals."
~ Rodolfo Llinás, neuroscientist
I would say that's "superior" movement.
Agreed. I hate it when people reach a high enough level in a certain area and suddenly they become great philosophers. The guy's a beast and I respect him for that but there's no need to blurt out a bunch of complicated sounding nonsense just to seem smart.
Yes you are right in certain aspects however humans are the only animals that can not only run but we can; crawl, invert, flip, climb, squat, hang, throw, grab, breath under water, swim, etc. In this way we are the best movers because we can move from land to water to the trees to mountains, just about anywhere. No other animal on earth can do the things that we can all together, they can do the individual movements better (such as run faster) but they are specialists not generalists, that is what makes us the best movers on earth.
You did not listen Ido much as I can see.
The reason WHY we are the best movers and on the top of the food chain is because we are able to adapt quickly and learn, mimic everything and anything (not to perfection), use tools for our movement research (gymnastic rings, balls, bikes, skateboard - all of it for the sake of movement).
You took him wrongly!!! There is many interviews of Ido!!! In one of them he says we are best generalist movers and that's why we are on the top of the food chain!!! For ex : We can climb trees but not like chimps, we can swim but not like fish, we can run but not like cheetah!!! Chimps can't swim and run as fast as we do for a longer distance, cheetahs can't swim and climb a vertical tree like a palm tree!!! So we have the power to mimic almost every animal's pattern but not in a superior way!!! The reason he says humans are Superior is not because we can beat chimps in climbing and cheetahs in running but "We can do them all"
Hope this clarified!!!
One of the dopest things ive seen and tried in years 😎 thank you ido🙏
Ido Portal is the man, this is real strength.
Never heard of this guy before. This is the first video I watched of him and I just love it!!!!!!
1:52 Straddle planche without scapula protraction? That's bad.
can't knock him for clever marketing and an accent behind a combination of existing genres of athletics
Just Gymnastics, a gymnast can do all of these moves. A light weight body.
+Mike K but can a gymnast dance? do capoeira? do boxing? swim? hold his breath for multiple minutes? Sure, gymnastics is quite the holistic discipline, but it doesn´t cover everything ;)
+wer8990 wtf are you talking about? that's the dumbest shit I've read. Of course a gymnast can do all of that if they put their minds to it.
after further research Ido cant even do basic-mid level gymnastics, and he claims higher level gymnastics are "impossible" if you didn't grow up doing it. that's bull shit. that's just his excuse that hes too much of a bitch.
+wer8990 Theres this chinese olympic gymnast that trains with Shaolin monks, that guy will run circles around this guy and beat him in the process.
Ido, you are such big inspiration! Everything you said make sense :)
Conor, less Ido, more jiu jitsu
You are very good Ego. I hope you haven't forgotten that you were once a beginner and couldn't do the moves you expect people to be able to do.
Can anyone help me with finding the name of the background music?
***** I really can't believe this crap... Thousand upon thousands of people watched this video and NO-ONE knows the freaking song ? I searched every website, tried every song recognising software there is and I couldn't find it... Incredible, isn't it ?
I believe it's Lisa Gerard, not sure what song though.
The hunt is on. Thank you Lucian Corvus, thank you so much ! :))
Alnasrlina Hate to break it to you guys, but I don't think it's lisa... I've been listening to all of her songs for the past 4 hours, and I still haven't found it
NovakGoran Damn it! I've heard it before and I know it's from a soundtrack. I still believe it's Lisa, just not from any of her albums. I'll continue looking and let you know if I find it.
Ustedes ya están haciendo capoeira. Muchas felicidades!
Ido Portal the GOAT touchbutt #hespect
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.
0:56 - what's wrong with his last two toes on his right foot? Infection?
Think they are taped
The best fitness guru on Planet! He is the reason I bought rings, he is the reason I wanted to build a body which has something more than just muscles!
here is the dork in the park
OmarTheShit hahaha, playing touchbutt
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
Lmao nah sharieshas dad goku..you wont be a dork, its all abt how you go about it. Just keep some swag and aggression and you good 💯
I just watched the "touch butt with that dork in the park" remix.
Now, I'm here.
"Touch Butt" defines this "dork" from now on. Labelled....
What about mcgraga when he punched that old guy bcause of being boozed and coked... that was quite the movement
🤦🏼♂️🤣
JON brought me here
Focusing on aesthetics…I understand now! All this time I was having a lot of trouble with explaining not being attracted to people who look good on online profiles. The way they moved in real life its different than a static picture
