Tying the fabric knot with the feet from a Russian Climb involves some sneaky footwork, and in our aerial silks classes we teach this to our students who are already comfortable with Russian Climb, and who have already done a lot of work in the fabric knot so they understand how it behaves. For safety and for our students to succeed more quickly, we always teach this aerial silks skill low to the ground at first so students can master it safely before adding height. Our aerial silks teaching tutorial video for tying the fabric knot from the air covers important details that make this aerial silks move successful.
