Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play podcast! \n\nIn this episode, I explore the world of soft acrobatics with Aaron, an acrobatics coach and sports science student from Frankfurt, Germany. \n\nDiving into the intricacies of movement, Aaron shares his journey of myth-busting traditional beliefs about motor learning, and how soft acrobatics serves as a bridge between the realms of physical capability and artistic expression. \n\nWe discuss how this practice is not just about acrobatic proficiency but also about fostering a deep connection with oneself, nature, and the community. \n\nJoin us to learn about the unique offerings of soft acrobatics, its foundation in sports science, and how it contrasts with conventional fitness approaches, providing a pathway to development and transformation.\n\nEMP | Visit Us Online\n- EMP Website: www.evolvemoveplay.com\n- EMP Substack: evolvemoveplay.substack.com\n- IG: @RafeKelly - www.instagram.com/rafekelley/\n- FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement\n- Twitter: @rafekelley - twitter.com/rafekelley\n- YT Subscribe: www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1\n- Become a Patron: www.patreon.com/rafekelley\n\nAARON MARTIN\n- Web: https://www.softacroaaron.com/\n- IG: @@softacroaaron - https://www.instagram.com/softacroaaron\n-Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@softacroaaron\n-Download Aaron\u2019s Free Beginner Guide to Acrobatics: https://www.softacroaaron.com/ea\n\n00:00:00:00 : Aaron\u2019s Background and Soft Acrobatics\n00:05:26:10 : The Why of Soft Acrobatics and Acrobatic Cultures\n00:11:18:20 : Specialization vs Generalization in Movement\n00:20:18:19 : Attributes of a Generalized Movement Capacity\n00:30:39:11 : Rhythm and Flow in Acrobatics and Sports\n00:37:57:24 : Evaluating and Improving Movement Quality\n00:42:41:03 : Scaling and Progressing Acrobatic Skills\n00:46:51:24 : Coaching, Learning and Motivation\n00:52:57:10 : Children Learning Acrobatics\n00:57:15:04 : Inspirations and Resources\n01:00:14:19 : Importance of Learner Autonomy\n01:03:53:05 : Motor Learning and Acrobatics
