Great! Remember I tell you never do more than 10 attempt per trick! This helps prevent injury and bruising, also you shouldn’t train the same trick day after day, rest days are just as important as training. In fact taking a day or ever a week off of training a trick can allow your brain time to process and when you come back things will click!

Ok first, how solid is your Brass monkey and which entries have you tried from my tutorial? What programs have you finished or are working on, it’s ok if it’s none. Also if it’s none, are you following the Advanced lessons in order or just trying tricks you find interesting?
Knowing these answers will help me safely direct you.

Hmmmm I don’t know that I’ve ever done a cross ankle into brass monkey. I would have to try it to help. I would think that entry wouldn’t provide the most secure grip for the knee pit. Do you have a video of someone successfully doing this transition?
Is there a reason you’re wanting to do this entry into brass monkey? Have you tried all the options in my brass monkey tutorial?

Looking good! I would actually lower to bottom hand a tinny bit more, AND you need to bring the upper body and lower body closer together into a tuck, this will allow the bottom leg to take on more weight making the flip easier.
Look at minute 2:30 https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/superman-1075/ Pause it an you’ll the slight difference between our entries. Look at how close I bring my legs to my torso.

I can see right away why you don’t feel like the bottom leg is helping. You’ll need to start with the hooked leg up much higher when trying Superman from Gemini on the floor. Right now the top leg isn’t high enough to allow the bottom leg to support you, your toros is too high up.
If you want to keep doing a Gemini from the floor, instead of going right into Superman try getting into Gemini, lower the whole torso down to the floor, then move into your set up for Superman. This will help get everything in a better place for the flip.
Everything else looks really good actually! I wouldn’t call it a fail at all, just a bit of a challenging getting there.
Good luck, feel free to send any more videos if you need help or have success!

Hi there!
Do you have video of your attempts? That would be most helpful for troubleshooting.
Have you been using my tutorial for Superman?

That’s good! 😌

How are you feeling Kora?

Yay that’s good about the tea. Yeah I’ve had some terrible flu before
-
Ugh, that sucks! I’m sorry 😢
I often use an illness as a time to stay in bed as long as I like, drink lots of fresh ginger tea and listen to podcasts and do some journaling. Oh sometimes I use those coloring books for grownups!
Hope you feel better soon!

Yay, feel free to ask if you’re not sure if one is the right fit 🙂

That would be amazing! We’re in the Tampa area.

It’s so good to hear from you!!! If you’re ever heading down to Florida let me know, I’d love to see you again! 💜💜💜

As far as injuries, man I never hurt myself in a way you would think. It’s been that way my whole life. I think it’s because when I’m dancing or doing something that might potentially cause injury. I’m very focused, but in my every day life…..😂
60 days is actually pretty common a lot of people stop and start and some people just keep redoing the 30 day takeoff and that’s OK too. That’s awesome you move onto level one. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help keep you on track.
