Control Corner 5 from Sifu Oscar: Building Joint Control for Better Movement

Control is at the heart of everything we do—martial arts, health, and beyond.

Welcome to the Control Corner, where we share weekly insights inspired by Wah Lum’s philosophy of control, represented by the flipped Chinese character for ‘Fire.’ 

Ready to unlock your potential?

Essentials: Control over your body starts with your joints. Dr. Andreo Spina emphasizes that training your joints to move fully and accurately prepares your muscles, ligaments, and even your brain for a more accurate sense of your physical space.

Why It Matters: The more control you have over your joints, the more stable and resilient your movements become. With this strong foundation, your body can move more precisely and is less prone to mistakes. Imagine making better progress in your Kung Fu and Tai Chi training because your body knows exactly where it is at all times!

What’s Next: Try a daily joint mobility routine that takes each joint through its full range of motion. By making this a habit, you’re already enhancing your body’s capabilities and long-term health. Follow along here.
