How To Build Up Your Sessions - A Tutorial

Post by Asmus »

I wrote this article on the danish forum and I've been thinking about rewriting it in enligsh for some time.
Then Anz asked me to do it, and here you are!

In this article I will show you three ways of building up your session or parts of it.
It's good to try learning in different ways and I hope this will help you!

1. From Big to Small -way
This way is best if you are an experienced footbagplayer.

You start playing in a circle just flowing and trying to play your best.
Then you step out of the circle to practice links or combos you want to learn or get better at.
Then you stop again and focus on single moves you want to improve or learn.
So you start out shredding and then slowly break down the game in more and more focused tiny bits.

2. The Progressive Way
This way can be used for everybody and it is probably the most used.
It's spread to over than one session.

a) First you start learning one element, for example Toe Stall.
b) Then you start learning a new element for example Inside Stall - plus you school the old one.
c) Yet another part is to take in for example clipper and the old ones are continueally practiced.
d) Always take a new element and keep practicing the old as well.

3. The Element way
This way is best if your going to practice a downtime component or a set you want to focus on.

a) You learn one element 100% for example stepping
b) A new element is added, for example whirls
c) Your learn a new element for 100% like ducking/diving
d) At last you can put all the things together
Basically you just take your time learning all things really well before you use them together.

I hope you can use it.
It helped me!
