Update on my treatment at the Hellerwork Structural Intergration

I completed 3 out of the 11 sessions.

So far so good.

I went in with a sore back and I no longer feel the pain.

He worked on different body parts and I could see physical difference right after the session.

The changes last as well.

In simple terms, it is a similar concept of the wheels alignment.

If something is out of alignment, it will cause pain somewhere else in your body.

Too many changes to quote but a few that are worth mentioning.

My shoulders are almost sitting at the same height.
Now, I am actually walking straight and my hips swigs in the normal manner.

Before that, I was walking like a duck and it locked my spine.
Breathing has improved as he re ajusted the thoracic cage.

He also worked on my shoulders that went sore after many years of sparring in BJJ.
Apparently, my shoulder blade rotation and hips were ok but he still worked on them.
My posture has improved and my head is sitting a little bit higher that I am used to.

I am actually forward to complete the 11 sessions.

But be aware that some of the sessions can be painful as he works on the soft connective tissue.
Nothing that I am not used to after years of training BJJ but I must admit I was about to tap out a couple of times. LOL

To conclude, I want to spend the rest of my life learning this art.

It is uncanny.

Linjian Chan Graduation

  Dear members of the Auckland BJJ community, Today, we gather to celebrate the remarkable achievements of one of our own, Linjian Chen, who has earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Linjian's journey has been unique and inspiring, starting in his 50s and culminating with this incredible achievement. As we honor Linjian's dedication, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to his training, I am reminded of a quote by Bruce Lee, who said, "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." Linjian embodies this spirit of action and determination, always pushing himself to be better and never giving up on his goals. Another great quote that comes to mind is by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Linjian's journey to this point has been long and challenging, but he has always shown that he has what it takes to succeed. His strength, d...

Antonio Claudio Collares “Tonicão” Jiu Jitsu

I try to not copy other people's articles.  However I made an exception on this one because it is near impossible finding out interview of the master translated in English. Tonicao means big Toni (just in case you wondered). Tonicao gave the black belt to Douglas Santos. Therefore Tonicao is part of our lineage. I got the info from http://klbjj.blogspot.co.nz/2008/06/interview-with-tonicao.html Interview with Tonicao I translated from Portuguese to English and made some corrections. INTERVIEW WITH TONICÃO The first developer of Jiu - Jitsu in Santa Catarina, this black belt (almost red and black) of 54 years well lived, 30 of them devoted to the Jiu - Jitsu , is definitely a person with a lot of histories . An extremely "good people", that captivates people in 10 minutes of conversation, no exception to the questions and plays with death. Enjoy the result of this pleasant conversation with the "Master Tonicão " which lasted an...
