Ole Grip is a staple of our beginner level curriclum and it’s one that our intermediate and advanced students use often as well. Ole Grip is a grip we use to move ourselves around the fabric. It’s easier on the wrist and shoulder than Flamenco Grip, and it turns us in the opposite direction than a Flamenco Grip would.
Understanding this grip is key for skills like Ole Grip Turnaround into Star, and mastering its use helps students with all sorts of pathways on aerial silks, both in footlocks at beginner level and in other supports like inverted wraps and hip keys at later levels.
