Transition out of an advance plank

Posted by joni1 on February 9, 2014 at 6:45 pm

Hi, One of my students asked me to come up with a transition out of an advance plank into another move other than going into a cross ankle/knee release, or just sitting back up. Any ideas? Thanks

I don’t have any suggestions, unfortunately, but I’ll definitely be watching this thread for ideas 😉

Depending on skill level….maybe reverse inverted thigh hold into a forearm stand or handstand out.

You could slide down and go into an aysha or do caterpillar back up the pole. If your that advanced you could slode down into a diva dive!! Fun

@Bonnie: How do you go into an ayesha from advanced plank. wouldn you have to turn your whole body to get it in the correct position?

Yes you do have to turn your body. If you slide your hand down that is supporting you (kind of backwards) from your plank and turn your body towards the pole, you will be in a position to attempt ayesha. You will be gripping as you would when doing caterpillar up the pole.

Bonnie: when you side you hand down you still would have to switch the legs to the other side. because in plank your knees are facing up, in caterpillar and ayesha they would be facing down. That means when twisting into and ayesha you should get your legs of the pole before you can even twist. Just trying to imagine here how to do that without falling down. Do you have a video with that transition?

You can take plank down into a full layback, then to EG/SG/TG aysha — doesn’t take a LOT of flexibility or I wouldn’t be able to do it lol. Basically you twist your body like you’re going into a brass monkey from a layback, except you keep your legs straight and hold the pole at your ankles. Hands in position, twist your body, and off you go!

It’s my favorite way to get into an aysha because it’s unexpected and looks sort of like magic. 😉

I have seen the move into ayesha called the twizzler. Here is another combo starting at 1:20 with the plank into dove or crescent then ayesha http://youtu.be/1zp3T0JTFLs

Wait, I take that back. I did have a vid–it is an early early attempt but it’s easy to see what I’m doing. 🙂 I’ll post it now.
