Back in 2019 a shy young girl by the name of Nora

Back in 2019 a shy young girl by the name of Nora stepped through the Sudden Movement doors to talk about attending classes.

Having come from a world of training on machines she spoke about her interest in movement.

We knew from that very first conversation that she meant business and nothing was going to get in her way!

Nora got the movement bug and literally became a part of the Sudden Movements furniture, spending hours upon hours developing her craft.

Fast forward 3.5years, Nora is now based a the National Centre for Circus Arts and today she came to Sudden Movements to teach ‘us' how to move and share her valuable knowledge.

This is a girl that couldn’t even touch her toes back when we first met, and now displaying a magnificient level of movement development and teaching.

Thank you for an amazing CAKE COFFEE FLEXIBILITY, we cannot wait for the next one!

A massive thank you to everyone that attended 🙏

WE ❤ MACACOS Want to know more? There are

WE ❤ MACACOS

Want to know more?

There are so many drills that you can and should be practicing to work towards this move.

We’ve selected our top three preparatory drills for anyone who is looking to start their Macaco journey.

BRIEF MACACO BREAKDOWN

Swing the first arm close to the head

When the hand lands on the floor the fingers should point towards the feet

Swing the second arm over the head/shoulder on the same side (this is to avoid twisting)

Immediately drive up through the hips, arching the back and following the second hand with your eyes all the way until it reaches the floor.

During that moment, the supporting shoulder should be directly over the hand, maintaining good compression and a locked elbow.

Just before the second hand reaches the floor, the power that has been generated through the hips combined with the second arm swing, head lift and arching of the back - should create enough momentum to detach the feet from the floor.

We recommend refining the preparatory drills before attempting full Macacos. It’s going to take a lot of reps and failed attempts before things start to click into place.

Watch out for more Macaco tips later in the year!

The frog press to handstand is a great way to deve

The frog press to handstand is a great way to develop your coordination, balance and strength, and will later advance you to the handstand push-up.

The frog press to handstand differs from the handstand push-up simply because of the height for which you move into the frog position.
You’ll notice that the shoulder is positioned above the elbow before pressing out to the handstand.

The stronger you become, the more you can make adjustments with the shoulder height - bringing them down to the same level as the elbows and below.

The forearm setup must remain vertical throughout, maintaining a straight body and minimising arching of the back.

If you are struggling with your alignment when it

If you are struggling with your alignment when it comes kicking up to a handstand. Try to focus more on maintaining a straight ‘back' leg when setting up for the kick up.

Be mindful that the lead/kicking leg is doing all of the work and don’t be tempted to lift from the back leg, as this can force a more open hip position by the time you reach the balance point.

This can result in problems with alignment and an over arched back.

CAKE COFFEE TRIO 🙌🤸‍♂️ Over the next

CAKE COFFEE TRIO 🙌🤸‍♂️

Over the next few months we are thrilled to be bringing you not one, not two, but three CAKE COFFEE events.

So whether you’re looking to step up your ‘handstand’ game/balance efficiency – maybe you want to develop your movement capacity/potential, or you could be looking to broaden your understanding of what it takes to perform a specific skill in the world of ‘Calisthenics’.

Whatever it is, we’ve got you covered 👌

CAKE COFFEE HANDSTANDS
We will develop your Handstand basics, improve balance efficiency and get rid of any bad habits that you may already have.

We will explore various possibilities with your Handstand entries, moving through a multiple of shapes, using specific techniques that will broaden your understanding of the fundamental mechanics of balance.

CAKE COFFEE MOVEMENT
You will be constructing various movement patterns and sequences that will incorporate elements of strength, for which the movements will be broken down into digestible parts.
Loading your joints and taking them through their full range of motion, using specific mobilisation practices to improve ground work efficiency.
Eventually, you will integrate the parts together and things will start to flow, allowing you to crawl and move more gracefully on the floor.

CAKE COFFEE CALISTHENICS is made up of a multitude of preparatory drills, routines, skills and foundational methods that will be complimentary to your Calisthenics journey.

So whether you are working towards your first Handstand push up/pull up, muscle up, push up etc – you will take something away of value that you can add to your Calisthenics tool box.
Calisthenics is totally scaleable, so you can attend if you’re a complete beginner or more advanced.
