 Welcome back to the school of calisthenics before we get into where it's definitely given exciting lesson for today Just make sure you click subscribe below and we will look today at how to join Cirque de Soleil now it's like an all-encompassing guide It's it's literally how you might get in the door and we want to yeah We're not in the Cirque de Soleil so we haven't gone to the join bit But if we were in it our act would probably take about 10 seconds Time for the next one, but it is gonna be this dragon flag or partnered dragon flag It is pretty cool if you can do a dragon flag it isn't that hard But it's one of those things that we didn't make you can turn a few heads in a crown and it won't cost him 90 quid to go and see it Let's get into it Step one of joining the Cirque de Soleil or basically step one of the partnered dragon flag It's just looking at the dragon flag itself But just changing the hand position slightly because most time people do a dragon flag They're doing it on a bench with the hands behind them pulling down against the bench Where as actually in this partnered one Tim is going to be pulling on my arm So he's going to use the bench to ref sorry the bar this vertical bar to find a vertical pole You're lying on the floor his back is good top of his back is going to be on the floor Which eventually will be resting on the knees But the important thing is it's hands up high here rather than behind his head pulling on a bench So then it goes up into his So do you guys put hands on top of each other on this one because that's what the grip is going to be like on your partner Yeah, so hands on top of each other About a foot up from the floor then it's going to go up into his dragon flag position He comes down and he's looking at making sure he's got that bum on abs nice and tight Keeping in that straight line position working to as low a position as he feels comfortable with that hand position pulling hard on there That's step one Okay, step two brings your partner in and also we're going to use the bench just to make it a little bit easier Bridging gap between doing it together, but you're starting to start to get to work on pulling Against other than the partner actually using the arm. So we're going to set the bench up Tim is going to go down like he's going to do imagine he's doing his dragon flag on the bench But rather than holding on the bench here I'm going to come down in a half sort of probably quarter squat position I'm going to offer in my arm there to be able to pull against big thing I've got to make sure I'm doing is I'm pulling and keeping this in tight It's a nice one for the bicep so you can see that and then as he glows down I pull my weight backwards as more Tim goes that way. I've got to Do the opposite you see me squatting down and backwards there until he holds One thing I don't want to do is I don't want to open let that bicep open up and lengthen out The more I go that way for him. He's just going to topple down backwards Stay in nice and tight as he lowers down you're working your way backwards That's three then is using your partner in the full thing where Rather than in step two where he was lying on the bench I'm going to do exactly same thing But it's about top of his back is going to be on the knees there and then it's just working together to provide a Counterbalance for your partner. So as he's lowering down, I'm helping provide that counterbalance by shifting my body weight back Want to get a little bit juicier it's going to try and straighten out and flatten myself alongside the horizontal position He's in all the time. Remembering don't let him go there. You've got to stay strong in that bicep position So there's a little bit you guys good communicator, but you're in that For me particularly when I get up and feel stable on my shoulders What I need Jacko to do is actually give me that strength built to go with so just sort of like right set I'm ready and then you can start to lower down if it goes a little bit wrong Just allow yourself to fall down and you land on the top of each other He looks a bit weird people will laugh at you, but Sometimes you got to go to these dark places So let's give it a go. So he's gonna he's gonna go into stop. She's gonna be in a squat I'm offering up the top of my knees or thighs there He comes over the top with that hand Rest his top of his back on there and then he's gonna jump up and to start with is getting in this position Can you balance together and then now as he goes that way? I'm starting to come back Until we haven't done this in a while So there's no guarantees that you can join the suede de soleil even if you can complete this part in a dragonfly Because we haven't yet got the we got the call yet, but there's hope and they're still tomorrow Someone out there is watching from a sense that we are available for a world tour and Jacko is more than comfortable The full like of suits alarmingly so anyway, if you haven't yet Click subscribe over there if you haven't got the free beginners guide down by Timbo and then if you're any more Of our how-to videos check over there, and we will see you next time Class dismissed
