'AU back-step' to 'Back-switch'
Integrated ground-acro & FA
•
2m 5s
THE WHAT:
An integrated transition & 'ground-work' pattern incorporating the fundamental 'AU cortado' with a 'back-step' variation and the basic 'Back-switch' to a 'Role' exit. The concept most significantly at play here is an emphasised COUNTER-ROTATION/TORSION between the torso and pelvis (or, more generally, the upper & lower-halves of the body through the midsection) in both the initial 'AU' and the consequent 'Back-switch', particularly in variation 2 ('direct arm-switch).
Because of this, the integration both requests, and continues to develop, proficiency in performing CONTROLLED ‘AU cortado’, as counter-rotational manipulation takes place during the mid-phase of the movement.

Standing to 'Back-switch' transitions
THE WHAT & HOW:
‘Back Switch’ is a ground acrobatic transition within the bilateral reverse-hinge family, defined by a lateral switching action from one side of the body to the other while passing through a foot-grounded reverse-hinge position. It is also featured within the world of 'Groundwork'... -
Chapeau & Counter free-association (FA)
THE WHAT:
This context brings ‘Chapéu de Couro’ and ‘Counter Chapéu’ into a free association, shifting focus from isolated skill execution into continuous acrobatic flow. The aim is no longer simply to perform each movement well in separation, but to apply both patterns in uninterrupted motion, l... -
AUC -> HBR -> LBR -> QDR RPU/circles
THE WHAT:
6 progressive examples for integration of 'AU cortado' (AUC), 'High-bridge rotation' (HBR), 'Low-bridge rotation' (LBR), and 'QDR rotational pushup-up (QDR RPU) or 'QDR circles', also integrating the ROLE as a transitional tool.Note that each "progression" is NOT etched in stone - dep...
