Hello to all! Responding to the intro questions: My favorite way to move is dance. I was drawn to unconventional fitness after witnessing a demonstration at the Star Belly Sacred Arts Festival in Boise. It is another manifestation of dancing. I love the elegance, spirituality, and intentionality of the movements! My favorite place to get this type of movement in is the park where we met after the festival. It was delightful! My back yard will be second best. Something else I do for fun is belly dance. Thank you to those of you who brought this to us!

1. Favorite way to move, loving Shaolin moves, and anything behind the back. 2. @Erik Messal introduced me to this group and I am grateful for that - I genuinely love meeting up and learning these flows. 3. Favorite place to move is first at the park with the group, second in the garage where I can stream the lessons and learn at my own pace, third, will be outside on vacations once I learn enough to feel confident enough and can just lose myself in a five minute or longer mental flow. 4. Thanks again @Dustin Montez fot taking your own time teaching us the awesomeness of Steel Mace.

Hello all. I am a 63 year old Australian and newly retired. I worked pretty consistently on my fitness much of my adult life, until about 10 years ago when it just didn't seem to fit in so well. Having just retired I am loving the time I now have to work on my physical and mental health. I am concentrating mostly on strength and movement. Rope flow is what brought me here so know looking forward to learning new skills.

Hey I just posted our first real course. You can find it under the classroom tab at the top. I figured I can't ask you guys to do the assignment if I don't do it myself so I'm answering the 3 questions. Hope you do it too! What's your favorite way to move? I love the steel mace. My favorite thing is free flow. I love just losing track of time when lost in a flow and accidentally discovering new moves. What sparked your interest in unconventional fitness? I was looking for something to help with my shoulder injuries and found steel mace. I was also just bored with standard weight lifting. Then the pandemic hit and I became obsessed with all kinds of alternative exercises. Where is your favorite place to get your movement in? Park, gym, garage, living room, or somewhere else? I mainly practice in our nice little back area lawn. But I love doing it with our group down at the park. My favorite place to mace has to be Hawaii though. Even brought a mace on our honeymoon!
