Is that a version of the Roxy spin that Karol does at the beginning??
yes its the Roxy Spin, i just end it in the flying ballerina variation instead of the split like roxy does…

The veena grip is similar to the flip grip Red is showing. But your top arm isn’t bent in the Veena….its straight. The beginning half of the SM will feel a bit more difficult but one your at the top it give you great control of the move https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
ok so like a flip grip, but the ”flipped’ hand arm straight??

I’m going to karol’s workshops, I think they start at 10am…i think… but karol posted a thread in the ‘Event’ forum with more information. Studioaerial.com is the website i believe, but I don’t think it has much info on it. their emal is: mailto:studioaerial@mac.com if you want to get them to call you to book. I had to leave them a message and email them to get a call back. I’m so excited! =)

So here are the different shoulder mount variations that ive seen and the most common name for each. Veena, youll have to tell me which one is the veena grip…
Cup Grip – this is the grip i teach to beginners. imo, its the safest and you get the most leverage. I also teach it from the floor, as you learn to utilize the correct muscles to execute it in a controlled way, rather than relying on some momentum from a kick to get up. good for a shoulder mount flip into split next to the pole.. also some use it for the shoulder mount flip onto the pole, i feel it torques the wrist too much though.

Apprentice Grip – this is a good grip for shoulder mounting into a sm flip. youll see the australians use this grip quite a bit. This grip takes more strength in the arms, and abs to lift into but it is a secure grip for sm flip on the pole and holding a super invert type poses.

Flip Grip – I believe this is the one that jenyne teaches..? This one is also good for a shoulder mount flip as the position of the top hand eliminates torque and ends in and upright position after the flip. Ive been trying to do this one more lately, but it feels a bit harder than the cup grip.

Princess Grip – This is the one that i first learned. Like veritcaltherapy it was the way that i saw it done before i ever knew there was another way to do it or that it was even dubbed a ‘shoulder mount’. I still use this grip from time to ime, but i tend to use the cup grip more nowadays. It is a pretty secure grip if you have the range of motion in your wrists and fingers. **please not i was using my timer to take these of myself and i was rushing to get into position before the shutter snapped.. the bottom hand should be a bit closer to the elbow of the extended arm..**

Funky grip – dunno what this one is really called, but i call it the funky grip. Ive seen very few people use this variation and my jury is still out on whether its safe, good for the wrists, reliable.. ect. After seeing someone in a workshop use this grip, i tried it and it did not feel secure. but the girl who used it, learned it that way and it was what was comfortable for her… she executed it in a controlled way and seemed confident with it.

Personally, ive never tried the interlocking of the fingers. But i feel like it can be risky. You always want to have your hands ready and available to react and catch if need be. Even the pros slip up time from time. Having the fingers interlocked would cause you to have less of a reaction time with your hands. I guess its not a wrong way, but its definately a risky grip and should not be taught to beginners.
Listen to your body and figure out what feels good for you..!!

I started another thread with the details on there.. ill also be posting info for Goddess A GoGo after she contacts me..!

Also, In the SM position, as you reach behind you and grap the pole, you can lock your fingers together for extra support.
um i dont know how safe locking the fingers is, especially for someone who is just starting out with this move.
