The Walking Code is a system for understanding how to keep the body properly aligned by consciously controlling the use of the core. The Walking Code is one branch of the Quantum Movement System, which also includes The Tai Chi Code and The Tango Code. The Walking Code is based on an analysis of the Eight Fundamental Techniques of Tai Chi, applied to various walking gaits. These include strolling, power walking, walking uphill, walking downhill, walking up stairs, walking downstairs, turning, and stopping. Each of these gaits is performed using a specific combination of core rotations. Most people function without any conscious awareness of how the core is designed to function. This often leads to poor walking technique, misalignment of the body, early wear and tear on the joints, and ultimately to pain. The Walking Code teaches how to become conscious of these patterns of core movement. By doing so, you can learn to move more effectively, more fluidly, and most importantly, move without pain.
