Acrobatics was always for me about one thing: playing against the odds.

In essence I’m a firm believer in unattainable goals - they ensure life time of discovery.
Flying is not in the cards for us and hence in a way pursuing acrobatics or apnea under water is analogous with living as in the end we fall short in that pursuit whether in a fraction of a second, a few minutes or decades.

This game is not for winners, it’s for players!

I have been doing a lot of hanging in the last couple of years. Does anyone else include a hang as part of practice?

I’ve been saying it for years now: hanging is potent medicine for the modern human physique.

With tens of thousands of participants in our hanging challenge issued years ago, to this day we receive thank you letters of people who had shoulder surgery scheduled but ended up avoiding it with a good dose of hanging work.

Yet hanging is not just therapeutic but also very important for performance and power production as the tissues from hand to feet are elongated, released and internally aligned by gravity - nature’s chiropractor.
I’ve been using hanging with athletes and top performers to help them ‘unclog’ the kinetic chain alongside other drills in a systematic way cause I believe lack of power is more often than not the result of THE PERSON HAVING ONE FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE OTHER ON THE BREAK....it’s not always a question of getting stronger but at times - releasing tension from the right areas, in the right timing.
