Overcooking axis-tilt vs. roundhousing....

[ThomasTheTank]

The guys who are drawing a blank on Axis Tilt have no idea they probably do it perfectly.

Which says a lot really doesnt it ! To me axis tilt is a product of a good transition move not something you can force. I tried to make it happen for a while and the results were ugly

Brian,

Can you please elaborate here, I take it axis tilt of the vertical and shoulders from horisontal ?

Thanks.

Exactly

T


The top of the "T" are your shoulders and the stem of the "T" is your spine. Essentially for every degree the "stem" is titled away the shoulders need to be open the same amount.

Is that intended to be an "approximate" relationship? I ask because I would think that a more upright posture (than average) would have more tilt than turn; and a more bent over posture would have more open shoulders with less tilt.

This is a "manzella law" and i'm not sure if he has any hard data, but i find it to be pretty damn close. I'll see if i can find the original thread. (LOL might even be this one, we'll see)
