Straps Immersion with Julian McTaggart

Straps is a hard apparatus, there is no way around it; but it is also predictable and consistent. Many skills rely on recognizable foundational pathways, and deliberate timing and body positioning. In this immersion, we’ll explore the fundamental shapes and pathways of straps conditioning to establish a strong baseline of shoulder preparation. We’ll also show how to spot them properly.

Our main focus will be on Flares and C-shaping. We’ll focus on building mechanically optimal flare pathways that we can use to gain power, and we’ll spend time on valuable skills like C-shaping and leg twisting, exploring the essential movements that allow us to approach a range of other skills going forward. We will also cover one arm swinging technique, skills generated from a swing, and spinning/reverse-spinning twisting skills.

The goal of the weekend is to leave you with valuable progressions and a framework on which to base your training that will allow you to progress your aerial work with knowledge and confidence moving into the future.
