The natural method of movement training is a physical education system that is designed to create competent and capable movers in real life situations and circumstances. Created by Georges Hebert after experiencing natural disaster and war. The system was loosely based off of previous military physical training as well as gymnastics. However in large part the inspiration was taken from native human populations that still practiced natural ways of living. The strength, grace, mobility, and speed of these populations impressed Hebert and he immediately began implementing these natural forms of movement into his training systems.
Hebert is considered a godfather a modern movement training and his work has inspired modern movement systems such as movnat, parkour, and modern military physical training. Hallmarks of the system include functional strength, obstacle training, martial arts and self defense, swimming, running, climbing, and crawling.
Hebert's life long motto was "be strong to be useful". - Спорт
So basically there are two sides. Moving your body around objects (parkour, rock climbing, gymnastics) or moving objects around your body (lifting)
Yes, those and locomotive movements such as running, swimming and crawling.
Also you should throw objects and be able to fight with natural weapons like arms and legs
Also exercises for hand-eye cordination.Because you hunt some animal and you must have really good throwing ability.
Interesting way to put it much to think on
First thing is to eat *only* Natural things in their Natural State.
I train for two days:
I train for the day when every ounce of my strength will be needed in an emergency.
I also train for the day that my body will fail me. When that day comes, I want to be sure that I did my best.
I love to see there are more people like this! Great way of thinking!
@@Ivaarti right!
We are the same
God bless you. Thank you.....
Amen good sir/Ma'am
What I love in the philosophy of Hébert ist being helpful, the ethic and altruistic dimension of his system. That is part of the definition of a hero. The hero. strong and capable, takes risks to help others.
i hope the artist who paints this is payed well. wow.
He makes his own illustrations! He's amazing
Probably one of the best and most inspirational videos I've ever seen.
get the book for more inspiration. It inspired me.
Leonard Cook glad you liked the book!
Very informative! Especially your with your drawings as finishing touch, really got over the message even better. Great content! I'll subscribe to stay updated. Keep it up!

Your the first comment! I'm pumped your digging this stuff.
ShapeShifters Den omg, ive just watched video and gosh...its moving, motivational, outstanding... I love your rings video but this is masterpiece. It has beautiful message and i hope other people who see this vid will recognize it aswell.
"Be strong to be useful"
Fantastic video, well done guys!!
Add some cpr/aed/firstaid training in and it'll help even more.
Become a real life Dr.McNinja.
Great content bro..This can be huge one day..Work on it and let it grow!
1kth like. Your video is an inspiration. Thank you for creating it.
I don't normally make suggestions but a kettlebell vid in this format would be awesome.
He did one!
I've always thought about this when thinking of working out and exercises. lot of specific exercises out there will build muscles but are absolutely usefull in the real world like bicep burl or skullcrushers. when it comes to legitimately usable strength in the real world, there are only certain exercises that matter
i love your jurnal pictures
it look like the action .
i need more for your video
Thanks a lot, man!
I really engjoyed your content!
great work keep it up!
Awesome videos!!!
Wow....short and to the point. Thank you so much for this video and the resources
Thank you.....
Great and deep perspective. Makes me want to improve my current strength and swimming skills
I have learned that women are more impressed with displays of strength then they are with aesthetic muscles. For example, when it comes to moving heavy things at the office or at home, women really appreciate a man who can get the job done. No woman relishes the idea of trying to carry a box full of printer paper and a man who can do that easily saves them a lot of work.
formerevolutionist ehhh :/// I am a female, I have never worked out, but I find lifting things fun
Don't try to impress anyone. Get to the shape that impresses and pleases you, and the rest will follow. It is very kind of you to carry boxes, but it impresses me more that you want to help me, and don't leave me alone to get those boxes to the storage, than that you are strong enough to carry the box. I am strong enough to carry the box, so why would I be impressed by that? Life isn't a strongman competition.
Inspiring!! 💯🔥
FYI, he was French, so his name is pronounced AYE-bear. Respect✌️
I always mention him in my speech
Dude im new 2 u and i love your vids keep it up man 💪😐
Dear ShapeShifters Den, I wanted to ask why there are no more videos? I absolutely loved your videos and often rewatch them because of the content and great visualization of drawings. Do you have a second channel where you upload new content or are there no more newer videos?
I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos! I stepped away from the channel and from online training in order to develop a movement program for kids in my local city. It's been a great experience but it took up a lot of time and effort. However, I'm actually in the process of stepping away from the program and training a replacement. So here in the next few months I will be returning to the channel and the videos will resume. I've also been creating a fully illustrated book in the same style as the channel which should be done right around the same time. Check back in here in a few months and if all has gone to plan it will be up and running again :)
It's very inspirational when somebody relates to our way of thinking.
It feels like a soothing confirmation.
Nice outlook.
Can you please make a video on the handstand
The one thing that confuses me when it comes to "moving naturally" is that we have gotten to the point in history where we are so far seperated from "natural", I personally have become dysfunctional from modern living and have spent the last decade trying to get my body back to functional. I wish I could fix it by crawling around and climbing trees but my body seems to not want to be corrected and I can't even do "natural" stuff anymore, or atleast my body doesn't want to cooperate.
It is true that if your body has adapted enough to the dysfunction, you won't be able to safely perform what are typically known as natural movements. What you can do is to find your current "natural", safe range of movement within the structure you have. Build this range of motion and some strength within these patterns (nothing heavy though, don't want to stack weight on dysfunction. Bodyweight and light resistance with focused form work best), then move to the end range of the motions and strengthen those. Move in the direction of good posture and hold the "natural movements" as ideals to work towards, as a north star on your journey back to movement freedom. Use supports for movements that need it (like holding a door frame during squats) and be sure to find and release trigger points before exercise. This is the simple answer, I know the actual journey can present unforeseen difficulties. I 'm there with you, I've lost and gained much of my natural ability to move. The only two hobbies for me as a child were art and athletics, and most of the art was sketching done hunched over on a couch in the worst possible posture. Before I understood what was happening I become strong and fast on a piss poor frame and shredded my joints. Pins, screws, scar tissue, and a lot searching for answers is what the experience gave me. Now for the most part I move pretty well and I can enjoy athletic movement again, and so will you my friend. Good Luck on your journey
Knowing that someone suffered similar issues as me and has been able to overcome them gives me a spark of hope, thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated.
I have a follow up question. While I understand the mentality behind both natural movement patterns and building strength around a dysfunctional range of motion, my question is how do you recommend achieving progressive overload on those muscles? Body weight exercises are all well and good and there is no denying that they serve many purposes and goals, but they often aren't enough for higher threshold motor unit recruitment. While it could be argued that recruiting larger motor units may not be an objective of working through a dysfunction I would argue that it is vital for proper strength and, more specifically, the hypertrophic contribution to strength. Just wondering how you would program progression once someone became comfortable with their body weight movements once again, thanks!
@@scottwilliams6288 This has the potential to be a long answer, so I will try to keep it short but feel free to ask for any further clarification if needed. Body-weight exercises can be progressed quite well if your healthy and knowledgeable, especially for the upper body (though the lower in general seems to require added weight at some point). However its true that its not as easy (body-weight requires a lot of skill building along with the strength training in order to progress very far), and its dangerous to progress far if dysfunction is present to any large extent. As an example I've seen a handful of people train the front lever without fixing forward head posture, and all ended up with neck and shoulder injuries. So in this sense weights are much easier to progress in general.
However I've had some trouble using weights to rehabilitate dysfunction because the problem usually doesn't end up being a problem of dynamic strength, and in fact adding dynamic strength on top of dysfunction can cause problems rather quickly. The origin of the issue is usually one of stabilization and muscle control.
An example is a client with painful shoulders who could bench press 330 pounds like it was nothing and could row more than that. But when I had him hold a bent arm plank (also called a low push-up hold) he was trembling after 25 seconds. This same client also had anterior tilt in the scapula and he was unable to consciously re-position them in a stronger, more balanced position (he literally couldn't even feel or control these muscles). So this client has loads of dynamic strength in both his horizontal pulls and pushes but he had weak stabilizers which he had no conscious control over.
So first he needs to regain control and he can't due that under load in the beginning because of the neurological "noise" it creates in the system. He needs to be able to listen and connect with his body in order to learn how to engage these stabilizers. After this is accomplished to an acceptable degree, his stabilizers need to be worked and strengthened so they can catch up to his dynamic strength. The problem is stabilizer muscles are slow twitch fibers which are best activated by static or very slow movement. So the idea is to teach the athlete to consciously engage his stabilizers before dynamic exercise and to increase the static strength-endurance of those muscles because that's were all the action is for stabilizers.
Calisthenics is great for this because the athlete has no choice but to work with their own body and develop a much stronger mind-body relationship. Especially beneficial is maintaining proper alignments between the limbs and core, this same athlete couldn't do one proper hollow body push-up in the beginning. Meaning his core was strong and his shoulders were strong but they experienced almost no connection, which is a recipe for injury and low athletic performance.
Body-weight work isn't the only way to do it though, and I do move on to weights after a certain level of rehabilitation, although it usually begins as light kettlebells, indian clubs, and weighted vests for some time. At this level they are learning to keep the stabilizers engaged during weighted dynamic movement. Once they have this body control SKILL, then we can move forward into more extreme dynamic strength.
This ended up longer than I hoped, but it's time well spent if it helps. Good luck with your training my friend
After sitting back and looking at this conversation it seems like it might be easier to just spend the next decade or two figuring out how to build a time machine and then go back in time and slap my adolescent self into avoiding stuff that causes dysfunction. Damn the human body is a magnificent but confusing machine.

Didnt know I was going to be watching a CrossFit video, Lol.
Georges Hébert was the man. Funny story: the first people that he got to train with the natural method was a bunch of 18 years old platoon that was not meant to serve during WW1. But when Belgium ended up in difficulty at Dixmude, France send these 5,000 kids to hold a position against 30,000 germans soldiers. They were supposed to hold the position for three days. They held it for three weeks, even after the germans had bombarded the zone and it got flooded. Their physical capacity to endure hardship and their mental toughness (which is also supposed to be developed by the Natural Method) saved their lives.
I've never heard that but it's fascinating. Thank you for sharing! George Hebert is one of my all time favorite historical figures.
Great video ! Let me add additonal info : Georges Hebert invented the military obstacles course in 1915. Almost all armies in the world now use this training method.
"Be strong to be useful" is correct as a litteral translation from french, however the spirit of his words would rather be : "be strong to be helpful"
You can get full information in english on the natural method on the website : hebertisme.com. This website is run by GHebert's grandsons themselves.
Keep moving !
Definitely sounds less ableist with the the more accurate translation
super interesting content! Thanks for the sub :D
dude, you stopped uploading, are you doing alright?
. Just want to remind U Cuz the Dude ist back
I am having a problem. People usually don't feel Like
training and thus they miss their training. But my problem is That
I feel like training even if my body feels like resting.
What should I do?
Abu Zohaifa, it's great to have training partners but the only person you can for sure rely on is yourself, don't blame them, just accept they have their own lives and their own reasons. In terms of overtraining, I have always had the same issue. Most of my injuries have been because I was excited about my training and wouldn't stop long enough to rest properly. The answer lies in intelligent programming. On days when my body is too tired or sore to train heavy I will do much lighter activities. Such as qi gong, yoga, Shadow boxing and jump rope, skill related work, or even just a good mobility routine. Remember the body knows what is talking about and it's language is health, vitality, and pain. Listen to your body and train within its current limits each day. It may mean you have to learn new ways of training, but it's taken my skill and physically to a whole new level. Hope this helps and good luck my friend.
Thanks. I tried asking this to many but only your suggestion satisfied me.
Very nice män :)
Kinda sounds interesting
An old man told me decades age (I'm 68), to train to be at your best at your worst...surgery, pulling someone including yourself from a burning house or an accident, hash treatment for a terrible disease, fighting off evil....
A lot of wisdom in that for sure.
☮️
Nice, but actually his name was George Hébert
Good stuff, speaking of exercise, in the mind/body/spirit realm of fitness I find Falun Dafa exercises really next level also.
Nothing against anything you say on this video... just a little... irritation with the artwork
Georges Hébert wasn't your typical strongman. He was more like Joseph Gordon-Levitt than Chris Hemsworth. Just an ordinary guy.
Also, did you notice that your hero was rescuing children, women and puppies. One could get the impression that you think women are something helpless to be rescued like children and puppies, and men are something that do the rescuing. Georges Hébert thought - as you say - that women are quite capable of becoming strong and useful too.
Also, 3:30... the bend of the backs make mine hurt... maybe mind more the proper posture than artistic impression in a video like this?
Agreed. Not to mention people of color. Hébert was influenced by observing peoples of Martinique and Africa literally just doing their thing, yet everyone in the video is white.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The founders of parkour were a majority non-white immigrants and children of immigrants too, yet what do people put out in the media...?
