Dr. Ken and Marlo Fisken discuss base pole techniques in detail from a perspective of biomechanics
While these are not meant to be complete tutorials in the form of "learn to do x move", these are fundamental principles taught from two well-educated and widely respected pole instructors, as well as the unique perspective of a licensed and practicing Doctor of Chiropractic.
Pole Mechanics was once offered as a free course, but as the content has grown, it has been converted into a paid course that will incrementally increase in price as additional member-only material is added.
This means that your purchase price today will lock in all future content without any additional fee.
The sections are:
Skills Refinement-Technique details that can improve how you understand various skills.
Spot Yourself-ways to learn acrobatics when you don't have a spot available along the lines of "you are your own crash mat".
Concepts-ideas that can influence any and all your pole skills.
Injury Prevention (click the white square)-techniques and exercises/stretches that can help prevent future injury.
