Description

Welcome to Taking Flight, a program designed to teach you a wide range of aerial concepts, skills, and transitions that will elevate your movement practice—literally. As always, you’ll be offered plenty of variations and creative explorations to make the material your own.

The air, like the floor, holds endless possibilities: we can jump, twist, kick, flip, rotate, float, and combine it all into powerful expressions of movement. This program draws inspiration from multiple disciplines—martial arts tricking, soft acrobatics, gymnastics, and dance—to guide you through a layered, progressive journey. We’ll start with the basics and steadily build toward more complex and impressive skills.

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).

Let’s take off—step by step, safely and creatively.

Flying to the moon

This program was such a door opener for me. I have a lot of experience on the ground and after the rolling program of Nil I decided to try to fly. All the exercises helped me so much to prepare my body for jumps, kicks and dynamic movements. With the arsenal of exercises and movements that has been collected in this program, I expanded my horizon of movements and added many new things to my regular practice!

body & mind flying high!

I’ve always been picky about who I learn from and Nil’s mini programs always hit the spot. Even though I am already advanced in kicking, I was impressed by how much there is still to learn and refine and how challenging it gets! The techniques are super effective and I started noticing improvements in my skills way quicker than expected.

Well structured PDF, great instructions, cool videos, clear breakdowns. Also, I love how Nil not only focuses on physical abilities but also challenges your mental game. The approach and preparation for each skill is what really makes this program stand out. Raiz, Gainer, Tornado,… things that once felt scary now start to feel safe and manageable!

This is definitely content you can keep working on for a long time!

What a gem!

Hell, yeah! This is a gem of a program. I usually (unconsciously) avoid jumps, kicks and explosive stuff in my training – just because I was not so used to this quality. Until now. Nil changed this. I’m practicing with him regularly offline, now this online program is a good help to keep things going. It starts with a great preparation – both physically and mentally. As I consider myself a beginner when it comes to kicks and jumps, it feels great that he doesn’t just rush through but gives careful and gentle guidance.
I also really like that it’s not too invasive with concepts or „the only way of doing things“, he always leaves room for own explorations – I can still practice my ideas and gently include his help given in the program. That’s amazing! It gives deep and profound insights and is packed with ideas. As always Nil finds a good way to feed my curiosity and my style of learning.

Let's Fly!

I’ve always been fascinated by jumps and flying acrobatics—probably because I’m terrible at them. They’ve always felt out of reach, intimidating, and a little scary. But the way Nil breaks everything down in this course makes it feel much more attainable. I especially appreciated the video where he talks about fear and commitment, which isn’t something you usually hear in the typical “just do it” mindset. If you’ve ever been intrigued by flips and jumps but assumed they weren’t for you, this course is definitely worth it.

The course starts with approachable kicks like the butterfly and tornado, with plenty of variations to keep things interesting. From there, it builds toward bigger moves, including my personal favorite (and current long-term project): the butterfly twist. I used to think that was the kind of trick you could only learn in a gymnastics gym, but Nil explains it in a way that makes me feel like I can make real progress practicing even in a park. I’m excited to keep working my way up the pyramid and eventually tackle the later chapters—like the backflip.

A Thoughtful Plan That Makes Progress Fun!

What I love most about this training plan is how much thought and effort clearly went into it. The visuals and details make it a pleasure to read and follow. The structure is excellent: you always know where you’re at and what milestones you need to reach before moving forward, which makes progress feel both safe and motivating. At the same time, it’s not just about ticking boxes: the creative elements and the space for variations make it genuinely fun, encouraging exploration and play. It’s a great starting point for beginners while also offering plenty for intermediate students who want to expand their skills and creativity. The result is a plan that helps you progress with confidence while still keeping the joy of discovery alive.
