Bullwhip Cracking for Power, Exhilaration, and Body-Based Focus: Private lessons $85

This is an energizing practice; it's really like a Qigong that also helps you confront fear and hesitations in life.Using an experiential movement model based on the physics of momentum and figure eight patterns, you will develop the body integration, core fitness, and coordination required to make a rhythmic and geometrically beautiful crack. Distinct from learning by wrist or shoulder flicking, this approach uses your entire body and uses it in a way that rehabilitates old injuries while making overall movement more fluid, powerful, and precise.
