The Russian Climb wrap and the Hip Key wrap are very similar, so we enjoy the fabric theory that makes these transitions work on aerial silks. Going from a Russian squat into a Hip Key is fairly a direct transition on aerial silks, but it can also be done going to the opposite side Hip Key which is a bit trickier. Our aerial silks tutorial video covers both variations, including teaching tips to make them work more easily.
The Russian squat entrance is such a common entrance into Hip Key, but in our aerial silks curriculum it is actually not a standard entry that we teach early on. That’s because we’ve found that our Footlock entry into Hip Key has benefited our students the most, because it develops really strong knee hooks and pull up strength and translates directly to stronger inverted climbs. We tend to explore and teach this entry more for the fabric theory exploration it leads to and less as an entrance that want our students to use frequently.
