Fighting Monkey

This was one of the most interesting practices that I've tried, and I must say, my movement research is still very influenced about it.

Fighting Monkey is a movement practice filled with body games and movement situations that include a lot of interactions, turbulence, adaptability to play with the structure, physiology & imagination of the practitioners. They use variety, difficulty and restrictions to develop resilience and creativity.

Hope you enjoy the video. There is plenty of materials from them online.

"We play games - together. Change roles. Change partners. Diversity brings immunity. Try. Work. Study. Cook. Observe. Struggle. Play. Imagine. No preferences - work with what you have and who you are. Go outside your comfort zone - see what happens. Life is a shit storm - expose yourself to difficulty to learn to weather it. Do not be afraid of your partner - you can manage. Do not be afraid for your partner - they can manage. Challenge your partner, learn from them. In return, take responsibility for their development. Adapt, but do not loose sight of yourself. You are different to me. Your practice is different from mine - live your own dreams. Observe. Practice - do not look for any special mode or mental state. Move the goalposts. Stay alert. Do not sleep. Physics. Anatomy. Chemistry. Curiosity. Adaptability. Adaptability and creativity above all. TRY".
