A concept that has been developed to strengthen your interaction with the floor, making transitions look effortless while using the potential of literally any surface to propel your self into motion. You will gain insight into how to roll, twist, jump, and absorb seamlessly, transferring one movement into the next.Soft Acrobatic
Meant for every level of practitioner, this section will teach you how to access the fast twitch muscles in a variety of movements. Not only will you gain insight into the basis of all acrobatic movements, but you will also begin to get a taste of freedom in space. Think of it this way; in order to achieve an aerial, you will first have to master a cartwheel. Building blocks are essential in the path to higher level skills and this section will guide you along the path with understandable and attainable progressions.Mind VS Matter
Testing the threshold of what your mind can handle will be the focus of this section, you will be introduced to a variety of techniques pick up by Slava while training with the Shaolin monks in China. The mind is an incredibly powerful tool and is often what holds us back the most in our movement practice. Together we will challenge ourselves, test the edges, and increase the endurance of our minds to begin to experience what we truly are capable of.Body Balance
Along with challenging our bodies, we must also take great care in building a strong framework to help protect us from injury. In this section, we will focus on strengthening your slow twitch muscles through various exercises including long holds and more. Strength and endurance are key in training our body to adapt and endure whatever we throw at it, so be ready to work hard!Dynamic Flexibility
The combination of flexibility and movement opens the door to an active range of motion, something that has been dormant in many stretching practices. In this section, we will dive deep into subjects such as muscle anatomy, loaded stretching, and end range of motion, power vs. limit, active exits, and more. All of these tools will allow you to experience greater control and freedom through your range.

Exit Strategies/Reaction Training

Everything is great until it’s not. Learning how to react in any situation is an essential human skill that most of us don’t train with intention. Using a variety of games, techniques and simple props, we will begin to rewire our nervous systems to become vigilant and responsive to their environment. You never know when life will hit you hard, and it is in these moments that we must rely on our instinct and skill to guide us in the right direction.Each day we will practice a designed set of sequences which will stay with us for the entirety of the training. At the same, we will also cover a variety of different subjects daily to continue growing a strong and educated foundation in ourselves and our practice.Don’t miss this unique opportunity to enhance your body’s education.
