Yay! Yay! Yay!! I’m still on Christmas break and have been obsessively checking to see the new challenge. I do NOT know how you keep coming up with unique challenges but I so appreciate and love it! I needed something to get me out of my lazy laying around Christmas routine and this is it!!! However, I’m already laughing that Brett has given us drills and said it might take more than a month, this must be a doozy! Glad I’m starting early! Bet my extra Christmas pounds aren’t going to help! 😂 Thank you! I just love you guys!

Ooh so excited to get started!
One quick note: the shoulder conditioning video is a repeat from Jenn’s floor mobility video.

I like this sequence! Brett seems like a Butterfly flowing between poses. I tried the knee hook… Very “slidy” and I don’t use rosin but I Will try with naked knee. Hope that at the end of january I Will crack open nuts with my right popliteal.
Happy new year!!! -

First question – is there a way to train the rest of the sequence minus the back flag or back flag alternative entry? I tried with full leggings (rosined it like anything, but still had that initial slip) and bare legs and now have a silk burn on the back of my leg (no to doing this bare legged in the future!), so need to let that recover, but would like to work on the rest of the sequence if possible in the meantime. Thank you 😊

Sorry to hear about your behind the knee burn! It is common to happen when first learning! Haven’t found another alternative way to get into the second part without doing either the roll or the roll alternative in the mini rig section but if I do, will certainly share. If you wait a bit for your burn to heal, and/or bandage it and wear an extra layer of tights with lots of spray rosin, the mini rig version is likely doable.. remember to “pinch” the knee grip versus “hang” from it.. having less weight on that knee is KEY to avoiding it from sliding.

Thank you 😊 yes, the rotation took me a couple of goes to remind myself to keep it gripped in my knee pit rather than “relying” on the silks to be there. I found myself out of the wrap confused 😂 I’ll try on my left side for now but the right definitely needs to heal.
