Are you rolling heavy ropes? Here I am using the Orange Shark (920 g) and Big Shark (2 kg) from www.windingropes.com There are good reasons to test your skill with the heavies. Improved technique, timing, mechanics, grounding, balance, endurance, grips. And let’s not forget, it’s super satisfying to swing these tools with all your body’s might.

    Could you do a tutorial of your flow? Meaning how you transition from specific drills to other positions? Not sure if I'm explaining that well enough to get my point across. I can do most of the major movements but struggle with the more complicated transitions.

    • @AlpacaFlow
      @AlpacaFlow Місяць тому

      @@mmayojr Everything you see in the freestyle flow is the result of drilling and refining fundamental patterns, footwork and transitions. All transitions need to be drilled independently, to the point where they can be done without thinking and can be chained together. I’ve posted many tutorials, drills and demos on how I practice. Check my IG and YT. I also coach people 1on1 and in small groups so they don’t have to spend years learning this.
