Russian Climb, also called Step Climb, is a very popular climb and it leads to all sorts of fun variations. This video focuses on the basics of the Russian Climb that we teach our level 1 students. Although this climb is very efficient for many students, we wait until students are confident with Basic Climb and Inchworm Descent before teaching Russian Climb. The climbs are very different and both important to master.
Once Russian Climb is strong then students typically enjoy working on some of the many variations of it including Big Russian, Russian Flirt, Russian Somersault, Russian Pirouette, and so many more. Mastering this basic Russian Climb makes all of those variations come easier.
