What you can expect
The idea of “foundations” is to create a solid understanding and pathway for Duo’s to work towards standing dynamic skills. There will be a big focus on tempo’s and repetition in order to strengthen the calibration between partnerships. We believe that with the right technique, what we need most is the time and the tools to practice the skills and feel safe doing so. There will be many h2h, two high and f2h drills designed to pattern good habits that will inevitably support dynamic tricks feeling soft and effortless.
