Just wanted to share one of the most impressive movers I've ever seen. It's just so fluid.
LOLHe is very skilled! I will never forget when he played ”touch butt in the park” with McGregor!

The worst was when Ido was bashing vegans and then Conor got beaten by a vegan.
It is worth noting that Steve Maxwell said Ido was gonna change his philosophy as he gets older. Lo and behold Ido posted on Instagram that as he ages he's eliminating the one armed tricks and other joint heavy moves.
The head teacher for his Israel academy (Roye) is 6'3" and does many things I have never seen Ido be able to do.Also, I'm not sure if taller people could perform like him. Ido is 5 foot 5.
I'm pretty sure this is the post I based the comment off of. I did jump the gun with the specifics though. http://www.instagram.com/p/BXXj_49hSJN/?taken-by=portal.idoAre you referring to this post?
Yeah, that dude is truly a beast. I just wonder if he's an oddity or not.The head teacher for his Israel academy (Roye) is 6'3" and does many things I have never seen Ido be able to do.

That's amazing. All this movement work is really really intriguing. I'm excited to see how Ido and his students evolve.I guess that's what happens when you train with Ido's method for 4-6 hours daily, for 7 years. When he started, Roye was not that impressive or strong. I could do everything he could. Now? He is way past anyone I've seen before! Hard work pays off just as much as good genetics I think.
I've read the same. It also costs thousands of dollars. It seems like where Ido begins is where most programs end. You already need excellent control over your body to follow the template. The people who make it through, seem to get fantastic results though.I've read some grumbling online that the progressions in his very expensive programs are unrealistic and folks can't complete them.
I've spoken with Steve about this. Steve believes that unless you've felt the rigors of aging, you really don't understand what goes into training for longevity and health. That's why he preaches following people like Jack Lalanne and others who have proven their methods work into old age. Here's a blog post I wrote a while back about one of my phone conversations with Steve :Here's Maxwell on Ido. I'm not sure if he's speaking directly about Ido's philosophy/exercises or just dismissing all 30 and 40 year old trainers.
Ido and his high level students are amazing, but a better gauge would be the progress and improvement of his average students (not the ones that train 4-6 hours a day for 7 years.)

I think there is a confusion. The average Ido student does train 4 hours + a day. That's how much you train in his internships and in his online coaching.
Is this true? All videos I have seen of people progress after 3 months of online coaching shows very weak people (a few pull-ups, maybe ok handstands) and end with very fit people (Muscle-ups, handstand presses, splits, etc). Just youtube "ido portal 3 months".
Average has different meanings so I don't know what you mean.In that case, it's fair to say that the average Ido student isn't very average - as most people can't dedicate 4+ hours a day to training.
If he's somehow able to have his students avoid diminishing returns on those 288 hours for building pure strength then I would be really impressed (though still not for me.)
Those are the ones who survive the training. I've been getting allot of my info from Reddit :Is this true?

It's very impressive really.

But they are not average in that very few have the time to dedicate to this much training.
I think there is confusion that all Ido does is strength.
To me it sounds very interesting.

What does an Ido Portal online coaching plan involve? • r/bodyweightfitness
It didn't go up in price as far as I know. I just assume that one would continue after 3 months. If you can do the training and put in the time, I'm sure you'll get great results. There seems to be allot of people on Reddit who didn't find the online coaching worth it.
Here's someone who had good results though! : r/bodyweightfitness - I just finished 3 months of online training with Ido Portal AMA.
On the last link I posted I found out the guy that had success said this : I could do a decent tuck planche, strict muscle up, chest to bar pull-ups, a crummy press to handstand, handstand pushups (Freestanding). I thought I was in good shape, but by Ido's standards I was "s***".That's why I say show me the 'average' person, not the guy that grew up doing gymnastics. (Plus, their fascination with extreme shoulder mobility seemed off.)
