All 5 releases are Tkachev variations. He swings great … but that’s overuse of one kind of skill IMHO.

Good idea. I’d use this.

Coach uses the terms “lefty” and “righty“. He’s talking about the support hand on the forward pirouette, not the direction of twist. (The first girl twists to the left, the second to the right.)

BEFORE you teach flyaway
Visiting 40-50 gyms a year I see a common dynamic. Young girls doing tucked flyaway with spot off the low rail of Bars.
Fun. Easy. Seems, at the time, to work.
But that’s not the best way to teach flyaway. Instead use a wide range of drills that don’t require spotting. Here’s one set-up I like, appropriate for kids as young as age-5.

If you don’t have Rings, I’d highly recommend you buy a set. Fitness Rings are very inexpensive. Hang those on a rail at just the right height for your kids.

Uchimura training in Australia
After his injury at Worlds, Kohei was feeling down.
But scenery and warm weather in Australia helped him get training effectively again.
Here’s a rare insight into how the GOAT thinks, plans and trains. Kohei feels he needs more difficulty. He’s shown training Richards on P Bars and (scary) Bretschneider.
