Training Programme #8 : Catabatics / (dance & acrobatics)

The class starts with a focus on the mobility of the 6 extremities: neck, tailbone, feet and hands. These are often the first points of contact with the floor so we need to have strong understanding of them, and the are many things to consider before doing, for example, further stretching of the hamstrings, arches and folds.
We will start with improvisations and puzzles on all fours.
We will then work on different falling strategies (Ukemi) and basic “catabatics” which have nothing to do with karate, but literally means “low(er)-(acro)batics”. These include acrobatics such as cartwheels, stepovers, rainbows, mini rodeo’s, around the clock wheels etc. These (rather new) elements are all about coordination, rather than virtuosity, strength or flexibility.
No acrobatic, danse background required.
