WHAT IS BUDOKON ANIMAL LOCOMOTION

Animal Locomotion in ethology, is any of a variety of movements or methods that animals use to move from one place to another. Some modes of locomotion are self-propelled, e.g., running, swimming, jumping, flying, hopping, soaring and gliding.

Animals move for a variety of reasons, such as to find food, a mate, a suitable microhabitat, or to escape predators. For many animals, the ability to move is essential for survival and, as a result, natural selection has shaped the locomotion methods and mechanisms used by moving organisms. For example, migratory animals like humans that travel vast distances, typically have a locomotion mechanism that costs very little energy per unit distance, whereas non-migratory animals that must frequently move quickly to escape predators are likely to have energetically costly, but very fast, locomotion.

At Budokon University we understand the human is by design a quadruped who evolved into a bipedal creature. Therefore we explore the unique gates of quadrupedal animals in order to examine our bodies forgotten power, vitality and potential.

Budokon University is often asked about the origins of the Animal Locomotion movement craze going on around the world. So we went to the source, our very own founder, Cameron Shayne to get the facts. This is what we came up with: Animal Locomotion Documentary by BDK University, with Cameron Shayne.
