Therefore, we learn in the first phase, the handling of the whip in the state. This is about internalizing the interaction of the hands, the body and the whip movement. We show you the basic movement patterns to move the whip in the desired direction and to the desired destination. Next we compose the movements with steps. This creates your first form. With increasing progress, we train then more grip variants and all processes with the other hand.
