Hi Thanks so much, leg and hip exercises are very critical at this time of sitting around, I'm working from home on a computer. Usually I'm walking a mile to the station, half mile the other end and walking 6 sets of stairs. Practicing for Sabre, looking graceful, and so appropriate for the golf swing!. The only bit I thought a leap too far, Triangle lego bricks! From what celestial plane, perhaps the Pyramid texts where the Gods were associated with Dual. (or Underworld)
@@SilverSabres Hi, it wasn’t the metaphor. It was the literal Triangle brick, as the father of a Lego obsessed 8 year old. I thought you’d discovered a New Order of Lego. But turns out I’m wrong, there are some triangle pieces, we even have some. So ignore me and keep up the great work.
Hi, I have nerve damage (peroneus paresis) which prevents me from standing on my left leg with the right one up like in these excercises - the muscles just don't engage enough however much I try. I can do left leg up fine. Any tips on how train with this disability?
Ryojin, we can adapt any of the exercises to a certain degree, and are quite happy teaching people with extra bits or missing bits or stuff that just isn’t quite right :) In the case of partial paralysis, first I need to know exactly which movements are compromised 🙏🏽 Is it only movement at the ankle that is the issue, or does it include knee or hip? Do you know the names of the muscles that are unable to fully contract?
If you don’t know the exact details, that’s no problem, you can message me with a description of your symptoms and I can write you a prescription for exercises 🙏🏽 If you’re happy to talk here in this public space, then it might inspire others to try and find a way past their obstacles 😇
It's fine I already made it public anyway and what can I do about this. Damaged nerves are damaged. Aside from peroneus paresis it's whats called a drop foot. The biggest problem is that my toes don't go up (retract?) much at all and one of my shin muscles is atrophied due to no real nerve stimulus passing to it. This causes balance issues as there is not enough muscle power to hold the left leg steady enough to do one leg standing proper. I can to an extent but it's a struggle and I will eventually lose balance. Also can not do stuff proper where you have to lift the toes up or stand on my toes. I could use the wall to steady myself on the weak leg but that seems to defeat the purpose.
Ryojin that’s no problem whatsoever :) In these cases, it’s not so much managing the injury, but the perception of the injury. 15yrs ago, one of my students presented with almost exactly the same symptoms after recovering from a horrific car crash. She trained for years before finally reconnecting with her left foot and ankle. She had to wear a special plastic brace to keep her foot steady at the base of her leg, and she walked with a crutch. It took a few years of weekly classes before she was able to hide the injury and lose the limp. Nerve damage is very difficult to repair, but that doesn’t mean we abandon all hope. It means we adjust our expectations, and adapt the exercises accordingly. The 6Sixes are intended as exercises for those on a path to tournament. For someone like yourself, the battle starts before you take up the sabre. You can still work through the 6sixes, but start with the first one, and just focus on that. The heel toe shift should be seriously challenging for drop foot. When standing on your strong leg, work the ankle in this first exercise on the drop side. When standing on the damaged leg, be kind to yourself. Give yourself a chance. Brace against the wall. Do it everyday. Until you start to feel more steady and then try it letting go of the wall. That’s when you would first consider picking up the sabre again, and even then only if you don’t fall flat o your face! Where are you based? This kind of work normally needs occasional 1on1 personal training. I need to see you moving to make an accurate assessment, and I need to see your face to understand the emotions involved 🙏🏽 We are in north London. Can you get here? - Faisal.
@@SilverSabres Thanks for a very indepth answer and tips! I will try. I am from Finland so it's a bit far off but thanks for your videos. You are helping saberites even across the pond. 😎✨

lego = modular
postures = modular
you can literally adapt by swapping out one bit for another ;)
