The Choi-Bo System - Component 3 - The Choi-Bo Technique 

Each Choi-Bo Technique is a sophisticated, integrated movement pattern in terms of biomechanics.  Choi-Bo techniques may look similar to other martial art/exercise techniques, but they are found to be very different when practiced or analysed in slow motion.

When performing The Choi-Bo Technique the largest segment (proximal segment) or core moves first, and the body then moves sequentially, each segment piece by piece until the smallest segment (distal segment) moves last.  This is called Sequential Motion.  The techniques also accelerate and decelerate naturally when performed in the air, but are very effective in terms of force generation when performed on target equipment.  This is called Functional Biomechanics.  In terms of the latest research into movement and neurophysiology, the majority of Choi-Bo techniques are contralateral to perform, meaning they are integrated on the left and right sides of the brain.  Scientific studies have shown contralateral movements can profoundly improve whole brain thinking, learning, and productivity.

'The quality of the exercises, movements or techniques you choose to perform - and indeed the overall quality of the workouts you choose to do regularly - will of course play a key role in ultimately defining the quality of your life later on!' - Anthony Aurelius

Good technique should be at the core of any professional exercise programme.  Indeed, exercise techniques and programmes should look to be constantly improved upon, to positively affect the health of the participants.  This is why Choi-Bo Master Instructors are taught Choi-Bo techniques with the aid of Dartfish software.
