Basic Stunts, Dismounts and Transitions

The ultimate in basic stunt instruction! Mark Coleman teaches you the basic stunt techniques and strategies that he has used with his squads to win over 35 state and national titles.

What makes this presentation stand above all others is that Coleman shares his years of successful experience and takes time to discuss not only the how of each skill but the "why" of each skill. You will learn the nuances and tricks to make each stunt work!

Coleman discusses how to create a disciplined commitment to safety with your squad as well as providing specific instruction on effective spotting techniques.

Coleman presents each skill in progression from easiest to hardest. He thoroughly teaches each stunt using the whole-part-whole method:

• The stunt is performed in its entirety.
• The stunt is broken down position by position: Top girl, main base, secondary base and back spot.
• The stunt is again shown in its entirety.
