That right: whips. All of them, ever, tomorrow night. Who said CV isn’t ambitious?
Okay, maybe not all the whips. Maybe just some of them. A few of them. As many as Dov can get to during our two hour meeting.
This is a class geared to get anyone who has just bought a signal whip up and running with a good basic set of throwing skills to grow and develop with. We will be covering basic throws and how to string them together in to a complete throwing style, covering different types of strikes and techniques and working on your throwing form as time allows.
