Optimized Core Integration Strength

Optimized Core Integration Strength is a set of practices for developing certain motor skills to give a more deeply integrated connection from ground to hand. It uses the concepts of:
1 - deep core connection
2 - optimized load and tension distribution
3 - core strength
Practices include certain specialized exercises adapted from the Philippino art of Balintawak Eskrima and inspired by some foundational training available in the Chinese internal arts.

Core integration strength is a great asset for martial artists, but any person can develop these biomechanical patterns of movement for any type of physical work or play.
