Event Details

Exciting news – The awesome Thomas Mörtl from Tom & Ayla is back in Cambridge for another round of fun workshops! You definitely wouldn’t want to miss this chance 🙂

***Feel free to let us know if you want him to teach anything specific***

CONTENT:
In this mixed-level workshop Tom will challenge you on whatever level you’re at.
You will learn different ways to go in and out of tricks. Depending on your level we work on shoulder stands, learning h2h or refining your h2h as well as f2h plus creative tricks and moves to include into your own practice.

Focus of this workshop will be on using the right technique, finding the most effective way to do tricks and learning some cool elements.
Participants will learn how to break down complex skills and how to work with dynamic energy.
The level of the workshop will adjust to the participants and will cover different levels. If some drills are to hard, there will be an easier pre-exercise, if some tricks are to easy, then there is always a way to make it difficult for you.
