Trading the gym for a stick. πŸͺ΅

Tried my first acrostaff cartwheel πŸ˜…
I’ll definitely improve that one! I love it since I am not able to do an aerial anymore because of my knee.

It looks chaotic, far from perfect, and 100% pure improvisation.

Swipe to see how it’s actually done. πŸ‘‰πŸ»
Reality vs. ...

… Expectation! πŸ”₯

How the coach does it. πŸ€Έβ€β™‚οΈπŸ”₯

Huge shoutout to my bff (and dojo 😜) for gifting me my very own rattan staff. πŸ–€πŸ˜‚

Finally starting to find a rhythm.

The past few months have been a brutal mental battle with stress, personal problems, and narcolepsy flare-ups. Then a heatwave hit my narcolepsy hard, and gym motivation dropped to zero.

But sometimes, the cure is just changing the playground and trying to move again. 🫢🏻✨

Trying a spinning back heel kick with the staff.

Still figuring out the physics and trying to pivot all the way down with my chest, use the staff to keep balance and keeping that kick leg straight. Challenge accepted πŸ˜… πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
(thx to my bro @akrohrnz for showing me that move 🫢🏻)

Another quick combo, trying to keep the staff and that elbow close to my body. πŸ‘‰πŸ» Fail πŸ˜…
Just experimenting and having fun.

I trained so much for that Two-Handed Figure 8 πŸ˜…πŸ«£ still rusty, but exactly what I needed to stop overthinking.
