Hi guys,
While hanging out with Brecken; she mentioned that I had some unique moves that fit into the category of 3D* hooping. (Sorry I haven't made a video in long time) During her workshop, she said that a lot of her concepts were created when trying to learn how to change planes. In my head I thought back to the class I taught when someone first said "How do I get to the Vertical plane?" I recalled the series of moves I came up with to respond to that questions and all the Axis Switch concepts that I've been playing with for years. At first they all seemed random but I've finally figured out how it all fits together and how one skill builds on the next. Anywayz, I've been thinking of launching a class specifically for this style of 3D* hooping since they all fall into that category.
What do you thinking of the idea? The class would focus on plane changes and cool contact body spins. Things like Hinge Techniques, Plane Changes, Contact Flips and Combos, the One Handed Helicopter, Arm Wraps, Leg Spins and all the axis stuff would be mixed together and the core concepts would be about freeing our use of space and getting out of the idea hooping as a "vertical" or "horizontal" activity.
* 3D Hooping is a term coined by Rich of Hoop Technique and is defined as: anytime the hoop moves perpendicular to the plane of the hoop. The hoop captures space when doing this which creates 3-dimensional forms. (donut, sphere or column) Anytime the hoop is capturing space you're 3d hooping.
Here's a video with a few moves that would be included; all the moves that involve the hoop "capturing air", flipping or plan changing dramatically. Let me know your thoughts? I've also been thinking of touring a workshop on these ideas.
