Conor McGregor recently posted a teaser video from SBG of himself and Gunnar Nelson doing some jedi-style training with bamboo sticks, but now a longer and more detailed video has emerged courtesy of movement guru Ido Portal's YouTube channel.
Ido Portal is an expert of strength and the movement of the human body, and he was invited to show The Notorious Conor McGregor a thing or two about a subject he himself has admitted he is obsessed with.
There are a number of fascinating stretches and warm-up techniques that you can try to incorporate into your routine if you are an athlete, and if not, it makes great viewing regardless as Portal shows off some mind-blowing flexibility and body control.
Balancing the pole on his feet while moving to his back from his stomach like that was both confusing and ridiculously impressive. Definitely one to whip out at a party if you can master it.
It will be interesting to see if McGregor can incorporate any of these new techniques into his upcoming fight with Jose Aldo, but we're just glad someone at SBG was on hand to record the training so we could see it.
