How to Fall safely (Handstands, Acrobatics, Movement)
How to fall safely 🪶
Educational video on how to fall safely from inverted positions. The fear of falling and hence the inability to fully swing into inversions, play with acrobatics is common in adults and hence an approach to overcoming that fear needed.
I’ve been refining my approach to falling since many years and I can confidently say that it does work. The countless glowing eyes after doing the seemingly impossible - not once but with consistency - speak for themselves 👁
Disclaimer: practicing falling inherently posses the potential of actual falling. Warm up properly and make sure to practice in a save environment, not going too far beyond your comfort zone and giving yourself time to ease into the practice.
Step 1: Swing, catch, overextend, breathe, relax
Step 2: After catching, release one leg and by twisting the arms/upper body search for floor with anchoring leg
Step 3: Slowly reduce amount of catching and try to twist out more and more by yourself
Step 4: practice more and more by yourself, condition body of needed (mostly) and practice in dynamic settings using basic acrobatics
Next week I continue this mini series with a video on how to perform basic supporting acrobatics safely and play with dynamic inversions.
