Let’s take a look at the fundamentals of teaching the clear hip, toe handstand, and stalder. We’ll start from scratch and learn what it takes to build a strong and confident foundation that prepares a circling element for much more than just circling the bar.
Three of the most important elements on bars…set your athletes up for long term success by creating an understanding of the basics and how they transfer into a multitude of skills we do on bars.
The BIG skills start with the small ones! We’ll cover single bar releases like the Tkatchev and Jaeger, as well as touch on transitional releases like the Maloney and Shaposh. These skills rely on a strong grasp of their root skills, the ability to move in and out of shapes, and some patience and planning. Let’s talk through some ways we introduce release moves to our athletes, proper techniques and progressions.
