I'm going to keep this kind of short and sweet. Mainly because this class today wore me out more than any of the classes to date. today we worked on Silks, or as they are sometimes called Fabrics. This is similar to what we did before, but the difference is that the two separate silks are not knotted at the bottom like they were before. They are separate. This made it a lot more difficult. And exhausting.
We used some of the familiar techniques from before like climbing, 8-loops, and the star position, but they were definitely more difficult on these. These took an immense amount of strength, and the moves are just harder to figure out.
One thing that was really cool that Elizabeth and I tried was her hanging onto my arms as I hung upside down in the star position from the silks. I'll try and find a picture of this sort of thing.
Kind of like this, but a lot more grunting, and a lot sweatier. Our assistant tried holding onto me while i was in this position too and I was really sweaty and she said it was gross and we both kind of laughed it off, but it was a little embarrassing.
Well I am assuming that we will be doing more of this tomorrow and I'm not really looking forward to it because I am exhausted...
Salutations,
-Chris
