Episode 61 ~ handSTANDING Strong for Ukraine with Dave Ciolkosz

Join this fascinating discussion I had with Dave Ciolkosz who is an American born acrobat/gymnast who has been living in Ukraine training with the Ukranian acrobats over the past 10 years. Both he and his wife have had to flee the country due to the attack from Russia. Listen first hand to what it was like to be on the ground while strategizing an escape plan and what it was like to hear and feel the bombs exploding in Kyiv.

Dave is a talented acrobat and artist. He describes his journey toward learning the one armed handstand from some the greatest acrobats in the world. He also shares his stories about creating oil paintings and the hope that his collection is still safe in Ukraine.

Check out the FREE World Class Handstand Diagram eBook by Dave which explains in detail what he has learned about hardstanding complete with hand drawn illustrations he created to describe the intricacy of this art form. The photo of the cover of the eBook is of his grandparents that he explains during our discussion.

Here is the link to the video of the explosion that Dave talks about that made their window light up bright red. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I90otRYs54Q Video footage is on 3:04-3:12
