Acrobatics

This is the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to write: the base is not always right. 

Too frequently in both our own training, and that we see of others, there is a misbalanced dynamic. 

Today we’ll take about why the base is not always right, and why that doesn’t supersede everything else even if they are. We’ll also cover how to identify this as it’s happening and what to do about it when it does.  

There’s one piece of advice I see given that I think is a ‘catch 22’.

Self Assessment.

It’s a phrase that you hear a lot but without much explanation or guidance given. In this article we’ll see why it’s a double-edged sword, and how to do it more effectively.

We get asked a lot ‘How do I make an act?’. Which is a very loaded question.

I’m going to try and outline a simplified, three step approach to go from ‘I have zero ideas and don’t know what I’m doing’ to ‘I have some ideas but still don’t know what I’m doing, but lets try it anyway’.

Here’s the thing about Hand to Hand: it’s really, really, incredibly simple. It’s just that it’s also really, really, incredibly hard.

Within the entire discipline of Hand to Hand there are only four positions that the base has to do, and there are six positions for the flyer. Today, we're gonna look at those positions.
