The first time I did a somersault, everything went really fast. ZACK and done. You didn’t really notice anything. I felt the same way when I jumped under the bar for the first time in the snatch (weightlifting). ZACK and done. You have the same feeling at the beginning with most movements, especially if they are quite complex and are performed quickly.

Only with time and many hours of practice does time seem to slow down during the movement. You suddenly feel something where previously there was “nothing”. The smallest nuances gradually become indispensable parameters. The palm of the hand gradually becomes a field with countless pressure points, which first consciously, then subconsciously serves as the basis for regulating the balance. These new parameters are now manipulated to change the movement: One screw more, a little more forward pressure, more tension – exactly…. NOW, head on the neck, etc..

This is the basis for progress and perfection (if there is any) in a movement. But this process takes time and an individual approach adapted to learning type and skill level. Some people learn better this way, others that way.

In my work I try to make the small nuances perceptible and manipulable for everyone – so that the learning process is effective and enjoyable. No unnecessary torture when perhaps path B is the better one for you.
