New Material

Negativa de Angola Push Ups

The NDA is a very traditional movement, hundreds of years old, that originated in traditional Capoeira practice and nowdays in Capoeira Angola mainly.
This movement imposes great demand, in its various forms of practice, and used for endurance/strength development in a lateral position - non traditional position.
I will go over the benefits of organic, multi angle, non traditional training over the traditional stuff, but for now - just try the advanced variation if you want to feel the high demand of this movement on your body.

Technique: from a squat position, place one hand behind your heel and the other hand in front of the toes of the same foot. While you do that, straighten the opposite leg completely, and start lowering towards the temple of your head. The only thing that should touch the floor is the outer edge ('knife') side of your close foot, the other foot, your hands and the temple of your head-lightly. The elbow of the hand behind your back will not be placed under your body like in QDR, but instead, your body will be lower than your elbow - in a position called Vasamento - lower than QDR!

The beginner variation is the one using both arms to assist in this motion.



The advanced variation is using only one arm.



Take notice, nothing should touch the floor but the things I have mentioned above. This requires some mobility around the squat position, in the hip rotators and more. This movement can be difficult at first for some people, and some getting used to is in order.


Role Into QDR Sequence

This is a sequence of two movements - the Role and the QDR in its various variations.
Start in a squat. Go into a Role, and from the middle position (head between your legs) start to lower towards the QDR on the second hand. While doing so, extend the outer leg into the position. From there after a slight pause, bend the closer leg to the floor, preparing to exit into squat, and join the other leg right away, into the position.




The advanced variation includes a QDR Rotational Push Ups at the end of the Role, and a slide back into the squat, following the same principles.



Notice the quality of movement, the fluidity and control. These things are what makes this practice unique. Quality is central here. Its better to shoot for an easier variation, but perform it with control, quality and fluidity, than to do a harder one but not controled, ugly and rigid.

I did this workout today and it was challenging. After a solid week of practice I finally got the Au Cortado down fairly well, people at the gym could actually tell what I was doing today. =) I even stopped one in a bent leg handstand for a few seconds and then lowered out of it just for fun. The NDA pushups are really great, hard but in a good way. I have done lots of traditional (Pavel) one arm pushups but the NDA's were a whole new ball game! I also got my first set of rotations into a low bridge (10 total) without hitting my forearms on the ground! It was really difficult but I did it. Sadly I didnt have the endurance to do all of the sets so I just went back to the low bridge slides and rotations on the wall. The Role to QDR were interesting and I think I need a few more practice sessions to get it down properly, my transitions were a bit blocky/separated. For most of the reps I did the Role and ended in a squat position and then did the QDR.

I had a fun time with this workout, and am looking forward to the next.
