Fonji Training Tips:
* Shoulder Mount Holds
* S.M. Bouces (Bounce the hips up and down while scissoring the legs OR do the bent leg version)
* SM Hops (this move is a great prep for the Fonji, but not necessary to achieve the move)
* SM Drops (this move helps if you have a fear of moving down the pole via s.m.)
* Flag Inverts (Lifts w/out jumping)
* Flag Jumps (I have ppl do these b4 we do fonjis to help prep them for the impact)

* Any Lower Abdominal Exercises
* Chest exercises (strengthens for flag)
* Any shoulder mount exercise.

 

Hope this is helpful.  I'd love to see your progress 🙂

Yeay !!!  This is one of my favorite moves to do!!! 
Do you have any videos of your attempts?? That could be helpful also–
MrsNaughtywed described the basics of the move very well…
Okay, I'm thinking of a detailed way to type out an explination….. 
I'll have to do it in a word doc and re-post it here, lol.

@Amy:  I'm glad that you're enjoying teaching — I always enjoyed your style of dance…  Although I am a trixster at heart, I really enjoy performing… uh, minus the judging aspect that comes along with competing, lol.  I do look forward to continuing to compete though, my next goal is to do an international competition…  In hopes it gears me towards more teaching tours and performance opportunities :0)

 

[Skittles01]

Thanks Amy!!! Maybe we can skype pole some other time that’s better for then… How have you been????? Gosh, I’ve been off SV so long, I need to get caught up :). Are you doing any comps this year?

** SKITTLES **

This is such a cool thread!

My name has a few different backgrounds. . .

When I was thinking of an ‘alter ego’/’stage name’ for when I started poling I went through in my mind a few things. . . .

I wanted to something unique (or so I thought) and also something that was ‘personal’ to me.

SKITTLES ~~~

* One of my fav candies
* It’s a fun colorful candy ((Id like to think of myself as fun colorful and carefree))
* Tagline "Taste the rainbow" — sort of sexy here. . . I like my rainbow tasted (did I just type that!?) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
* And later my husband also added that a rainbow has many colors and variety such as poling: Strength, Sexiness, Fun-ness, etc etc. . . and I try to do a little of it all. . .

. . . . hence the name "SKITTLES"

I did think about changing my name, but Skittles stuck with me. . . .. I didnt want a serious name, because I’m just not a super serious person/poler and I’m actually a bit shy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif . . . so I wanted to keep it light hearted and fun. .

Plus, when I’m at work and someone mentions Skittles (from the snack machine) I do turn as if they’ve called my name, lol!

[Skittles01]

Congrats Ann!!

Do you have your submission vid link??

I’m planning to enter next year too (well, last year I said I was gonna do it this year, lol). . . I wanted to enter this year, but I felt I may be pushing it AND my husband has a race on Oct3rd that we’ve been planning to attend so I thought I should just leave it be.

I think it’s for the best. . . I have more time to work on my flexibility
I notice that all the uspdf-ers are super flexy. . . https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

Congrats to you for entering!!! AND I’m excited to meet you in VA for East Meets West Polarity!!!!!
