Baseworks Practice is effective for working on Type I fiber-mediated strength, flexibility, and mobility. It improves body awareness, understanding and control over movements. It also has a positive impact on mental states and capacities, stress regulation and sleep quality.

Baseworks Practice cannot replace cardio or heavy lifting workouts, however it can improve performance in cardio or heavy lifting workouts. It is also not intended to give you a post-workout “euphoria,” rather leaving you with a state of mental calmness and stable energy after a Baseworks Practice session.

Baseworks can be used as a primary fitness modality or as a complement to other activities.

The Baseworks “Form” videos are short instructional videos that focus on individual Baseworks Forms. They provide detailed instruction to enhance understanding and efficiency during the practice sessions.

Although Forms are building blocks of practice sessions, it is more helpful to think about forms as similar to “Kata” in Karate than to “exercises” in a fitness class.
The Forms can also be thought of as “containers for Baseworks Movement Patterns”.

The Baseworks Forms library serves as a reference for applying movement patterns in various exercises. Therefore, these videos can be used as a source of techniques and inspiration to incorporate into other training modalities.

Here is an example of a form video:

The Baseworks Meta videos provide a shortcut to understanding the finer details of the Baseworks Method.

It is a unique educational tool that explains attention allocation and goal-setting in Baseworks using concrete movement examples and animation, visualizing things that are difficult to explain with just words.

They provide a shortcut to understanding the finer details of the Baseworks Method. These videos help with grasping instructional cues, movement objectives, and familiarizing oneself with Baseworks-specific vocabulary. They will help to become aware of things that are normally executed without awareness. The videos are available to all Platform subscribers.

Here is one example of the Baseworks Meta:

Absolutely. Baseworks is designed to accommodate individuals of all athletic levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. What truly matters is your curiosity and willingness to explore new perspectives and take away transferable and actionable new skills.

Whether you’re an athlete, dancer, martial artist, experienced yoga practitioner, or involved in teaching any movement discipline, Baseworks offers valuable insights. Here’s what you can gain:

• Enhance your explicit understanding of the body, even if you’re already proficient in movement.
• Explore a fresh approach to movement and movement education that complements your existing knowledge.
• Discover training aspects that might be absent from your primary discipline.
• Gather useful teaching tips that can enhance your own instructional methods.

At the start of the Covid pandemic in Japan, during distancing and lockdown measures, we decided to prioritize the planning, filming, and production of the Baseworks Practice Platform. We collaborated with Tokyo-based film director Nicci Keller, known for his work with well-known brands, magazines, and artists like Ayumi Hamasaki and LUNA SEA.

Baseworks is accessible for beginners, regardless of athletic background.

The Baseworks Method was intentionally tested and optimized to make it easier for people with limited physical skills and low body awareness to better understand the instructions, understand their own unique conditions, and progress step-by step without over-exertion and hurting themselves.

In Baseworks, you are always working at your level, and we place a lot of emphasis on developing not only the physical prerequisites (such as strength, flexibility, mobility, and balance), but also the so-called “perceptual skills” – the 3 types of body awareness, and the ability to control the movements in a more conscious manner. Developing these skills makes movement practices and physical learning easier and more enjoyable.

As a BEGINNER, you can expect:

• Enhanced Physical Abilities: Develop strength, flexibility, mobility, movement control, and balance.
• Heightened Sensory Awareness: Improve your ability to sense and understand your body in finer detail.
• Deep Insight into Your Unique Condition: Understand your physical condition and limitations to make more informed, conscious choices in training and day-to-day life.
• Improved Resilience: Understand when to push yourself and when to rest, enhancing resilience and stress management.
• Mental Benefits: Improve attention, visuospatial reasoning, concentration, and self-esteem.
• Emotional Well-being: Enhance emotional regulation and sleep quality.
• And More: Discover additional benefits as you progress!

The Baseworks Method is exceptionally well-suited for online learning for the following 4 reasons:

1. It has been optimized over the years to be accessible to individuals with low body awareness.
2. It prioritizes verbal instructions and demonstrations instead of physical hands-on guidance, and the platform features multi-camera angle footage.
3. It provides clear guidance to address common physical limitations.
4. We developed various short-form animated, visually-rich supporting materials to explain the intricate details in an easy way.
