DAY 6 — MOVE LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE TO FIGHT

Kia ora whānau — Jamie here.

After five days of rucking, loading, squatting, and pushing, today was about moving like a threat.
Not for the camera. Not for aesthetics. For survival.

Day 6 is movement restoration and combat readiness rolled into one.
I moved barefoot. On the ground. No mat. No soft gym floor. Just earth.
The goal? Reclaim joint space. Restore primal movement. Sharpen patterns that most people forget the moment they stop playing as kids.

I shadowed fight movement.
Bear crawls, low transitions, hip pivots, shoulder rolls.
Practiced how I’d move if I had to protect someone… or defend against someone.

You want to be strong? Good.
Now make that strength mobile, responsive, and dangerous.

NOTES / REFLECTION

  • Shoulders tight but responsive

  • Hips opened up more in Round 3 — needed time

  • Felt connected, grounded, and aware

  • Shadow movement surprised me — more fluid than expected

  • Recovery without stillness — this is active rest for warriors
