Learn Fonji with Bianca Breschi, Italian & World Champion. Online mini-course. $50 USD lifetime access. ppu.tv/Fonjy

10/08/2022

We know this trick (called "Fonji") looks challenging. But with careful guidance through a proper sequence of preparatory steps, the Fonji can be achieved by even beginner-level polers. Thatโ€™s what makes Fonji so cool.

Better yet, weโ€™ve selected Bianca Breschi to teach you this trick. Bianca is a five-time Italian national champion and the 2018 world champion of pole sport. And sheโ€™s not only an athlete โ€” sheโ€™s an experienced coach, with her own training center in Florence, and a reputation for helping students learn tricks they thought were "too hard."

This Fonji Mini-Course is designed as a single 60-minute session, including a Fonji-specific warmup routine, and a demonstration of correct Fonji spotting technique by Biancaโ€™s coach. (Note: your spotter doesnโ€™t need to be a poler; it can be any friend, roommate, partner, etc.)

This mini-course is suitable for all skill levels โ€” even beginners! Bianca will guide you slowly and comfortably through a series of preparation movements, eventually culminating in the Fonji. By learning this exciting pole trick, youโ€™ll also open the door to learning other dynamic elements in the future.

Lifetime access to this course is $50 USD on the PolePress University platform, but you can pre-order it now for a reduced early-bird price at ppu.tv/presale-fonji.

You know pole has two ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด, static and spin. But really, they're distinct ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ด.

Many tricks are specific to one kind of pole. Some can only be done on static; others can only be done on spin.

But even for tricks that ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ be done on both, most of them only make sense on one. (Static hood ornament, anyone?)

And then, when you start putting moves together, the differences between static and spin ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด are even more extreme.

Now the differences between static and spin pole actually start from the very beginning. Thatโ€™s why we created ๐—˜๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป, a 4-week program to help you master the fundamental skills of spin pole.

The course starts from scratch, so you donโ€™t need any pole experience. But the instructor โ€” current world champion Olena Minina โ€” is meticulous about proper technique. So if you have some experience, but now youโ€™re ready to get serious, this course is also a perfect fit.

Here's an outline of what you'll learn:

Want to master the craft of spin pole? This 4-week video course is for you. Details below.

Have you carefully studied the nuances of spin pole, or do you just kind of "go by feel"?

Bodily intuition is necessary, to be sure, but it's not sufficient.

If you want steady progress and consistent performance on spin pole, you need to understand the subtleties.

And this is especially true if you also hope to teach pole someday. You need to be able to articulate the technique โ€” not just "monkey see, monkey do."

โ€œPolers don't need to do flexibility training, because poling already develops your flexibility." Sounds crazy, right?

Fortunately no polers think this way โ€” about flexibility training.

However, just replace ๐˜ง๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ช๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ with ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ, and you get one of the most widespread myths in the pole industry:

โ€œPolers don't need to do strength training, because poling already develops your strength."

We don't know how this mindset became the accepted wisdom. But we do know it's wrongheaded, and has prevented countless polers from realizing their full potential.

How do we know this?

It's a general principle of human performance that, for any activity that heavily utilizes capabilities XYZ, one's performance can be drastically improved via exercises that specifically train XYZ.

This is why ballerinas do foot exercises.
This is why rock climbers do hand exercises.
This is why opera singers do breathing exercises.
This is why polers do flexibility exercises.

And this is why polers ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ do strength exercises.

Now, we know what you're thinking: "Are you telling me I need to start lifting weights? One of the reasons I started pole is because I don't like going to the gym."

Absolutely not.

Although weightlifting isn't a bad thing, it simply isn't the best way to develop the kind of strength that is most helpful for pole.

And this is because traditional strength training:
โŒ ... targets individual muscles in isolation.
โŒ ... uses arbitrarily restricted ranges of motion.
โŒ ... focuses on larger and more visible "vanity" muscles.

But for polers, the optimal strength training should:
โœ… ... simultaneously use entire groups of muscles working together as a balanced system.
โœ… ... engage muscles throughout their full range of motion.
โœ… ... emphasize smaller and less visible stabilizer muscles.

This is the rationale underlying our ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜๐—ต 6-week video course. Taught by world champion and former gymnast , it will show you how to develop full-body functional strength for pole, without using any equipment. (No pole needed. Customizable for all levels.)

Want to electrify your floor/base work with handstands? This 6-week video course is for you. Pole not needed. All levels.

Taught by elite pole artist and circus acrobat Mari Simak, this is a comprehensive introduction to hand-balancing: starting from basic crow poses, and progressing all the way to handstands.

Although it's structured as a 6-week program, the lessons are self-paced so you can adapt them to your current level โ€” with each lesson including highly specialized conditioning exercises.

This way, even when you can't perform the movements right away โ€” the normal situation in hand-balancing! โ€” you're equipped with the tools for gradually working up to them.

Why?

Because studying them provides a huge repertoire of elemental skills that can be applied to anything that's built upon them.

Acrobatics is a foundation of pole in the exact same way. By learning acrobatic techniques, without a pole, your actual pole skills will grow exponentially.

You'll be able to learn pole tricks more quickly, since your body and nervous system will "speak the language" of movement in an intuitive, second-nature sort of way.

Not to mention: If you're a competitor, you'll stun judges and audiences with wow-factor Acro moves during the stage/floor portion of your routines.
