@pattar TMs is very different then what I would want. I want the leg to push the hips for stretch. If you just sequence a load (lower half) before the hands you get the stretch reflex you’re after aka The ‘hips leading the hands’. Here’s my kid doing a walking away drill for that sequence.

I smell a setup….. but I can’t resist. Must be all the Christmas cheer


A couple of years back, I stumbled across this video made by Board Member (who I believe used to post here often) addressing TM's swing methods:



Did TM ever address this binding of the wrist issue discussed by Board Member? That issue alone makes it difficult for me to buy into TM's swing concepts. Here's a companion video by Board Member discussing other aspects of his swing concepts:



Pretty good stuff IMO.

There's one of the major differences - pushing rear leg vs. pulling rear leg.
