Wrist Mobilizations and Activations
Gymnastics: Build your foundation by progressing through the whole series, starting the most regressed Floor Pike Push-Ups, moving on to Wall-Assisted techniques, and working up to Freestanding Handstand Push-Ups. You’ll also learn the basics of safety, spotting, and conditioning.
Breakdancing: Now that you’ve mastered your basics, it’s time to add some flare! Start with some low level freezes (like the Turtle and Baby), progress through the mid level freezes (think Air Baby and Headstands), and end up in the high level freezes (Fishtails and Pikes!)
Parallettes: Get serious on the parallettes, covering both straight-arm and bent-arm moves.
Parallel Bars: Take your skills outside onto parallel bars, learning Swings, Press-Ups and Trunk moves.
