Who am I, and why did I create Bola Flow?

The simple answer:

My love for exploring the nature of flow through movement arts is my primary driving force in life.

And Bola Flow is my way of sharing this love with the world!

My movement journey began when I was only 7 years old - playing with a yo-yo and juggling for hours and hours on end. I was obsessed with learning tricks and sharing the joy of it with the people around me.

I followed this obsession into martial arts through my teens, earning my brown belt in Koden Kan Karate and gaining experience with many different martial arts weapons.

My fixation with learning movement tricks continued to evolve into the world of acrobatics. I would spend the next 10 years of my life traveling the world and pursuing a career as a professional parkour athlete and cliff diver.

But I still wasn't done exploring the world of movement - in my late twenties I launched into the worlds of hip hop, breakdance and partner dance, experiencing deeper levels of flow, freedom, and connection.

Then one day while playing with the Flow Rope (from the Weck Method) I had a great AHA! moment.

I realized this was an amazing way to experience the fundamentals of flow - an exploration of moving in circular and spiral pathways with rhythm, balance, and ease.

It was a direct portal into the world of flow movement.

I dove deep into the Rope Flow practice and ended up creating my own variation (The Bola Rope), by combining inspiration from other flow arts like Poi, Rope Dart, and Meteor Hammer.

This variation allows for truly endless possibilities and offers a highly engaging movement experience, that is easily accessible for people of all ages and ability levels.

And thus, Bola Flow was created.

I'm so excited to share this journey with you all, and I hope that you discover a simple, satisfying, and renewed love of movement with BOLA FLOW!

Bless,

Andrew
