Macaco 101 Program

Welcome to Macaco 101, a program designed to teach you all that you need to know in order to transform your Cartwheel into a beautiful Macaco. But we won’t stop here - we’ll take it even further and learn how to play with various Macaco variants and create interesting moves.

The Macaco is wanted by many - and rightfully so. It is a beautiful move that can be the first step into the so called “Backwards World“ - the space behind your body, the blind spot. Often fear is the reason we can not perform this beautiful move, so befriending exactly this fear is what is going to be the first step in this program.

You'll be first introduced to more basic patterns and ideas that already allow plenty of exploration. Later, you'll apply all that you have learned in various scenarios: from sequences to open form tasks, technical studies and more.


Of course the material is presented in high quality video breakdowns, text and illustration. The PDF that you'll receive is beautifully designed, neatly organized and intuitive to use. You'll receive practice structures and plenty of tips not only for the what (content) but also the how (learning process).

Are the videos downloadable?
-> All videos are uploaded as not-listed to YouTube, downloading is possible but not recommended.

What is the difference between the full programs and these smaller, specialized ones?
-> The full programs contain much more material and cover many different topics and skills - great if you wish to know it all. The smaller, specialized programs are for those who seek specific moves and concepts and want to spend less overall. NOTE: all students of the Acrobatics Lab and Atelier program won't find much new material in this program. If you still wish to purchase it, send a mail first and you'll receive a big discount.

Are these follow-along type classes?
-> No, the programs offer great and in depth breakdown videos but not in follow-along style.

What experience do I need for this program?
-> This program is great for beginners as we start from the basics and progress slowly to the full skill(s). Also intermediate students will benefit from the program as it offers plenty of variations as well. If you are a teacher yourself, you will LOVE it, as you can use the learning process shown in your own teachings and classes.
