The Ground is your friend.

The Ground is your friend. 
What the heck am I talking about? 
What is ground work? It's forward and backward rolls from your knees or feet. Lying down to standing up and back down to the ground. Rolling left, rolling right. Low squats to kneeling/ lunging positions. Circular movements of your knees, elbows shoulders, feet and legs on the ground.
This is ground flow demonstrated by Ken Froese and Zuzana Light. 
Ground flow, rolling, water flowing underground ( just heard that song on the radio from the Talking Heads).
Flow like water. Think for a minute how water flows underground. It doesn't go through obstacles, it runs into a rock, backs up, then when it builds up enough back pressure, flows around it and keeps going.
That's what ground  flow should be like. Water flowing underground.
