think with your feet!

Why should you know how to climb a trunk of a tree, even if you don't want to climb one?

Well, you never know if on some unfortunate day a pit bull charges at you and bites your ass if don't climb that tree nearby.

Maybe cats have nine lives because they're great tree climbers.









Here's a video tutorial on climbing a tree bare handed. Key concepts:
1. don't look down
2. think with your feet for powering up or down
3. wrap legs and arms around tree
4. place core and hips into the tree

We document and share a catalog of movements. This blog and the videos are for entertainment purposes only. Please seek guidance from a certified instructor to be sure you move with proper biomechanics and safety.
