TOM THE ACROBAT

Thank you for the amazing workshop this week. It was so much fun and we learned a lot in the last five days. We appreciate your way of teaching a lot because you do not talk to much but cover everything which is needed to learn the trick. And if there is still something needed to improve you see within a blink of an eye the clue which helps. Thank you!

The first time I meet Tom as a beginner he kicked me out of his workshop because I didn’t have the prerequisites. You could think this was not the best start. But since then, I was 3 times on acromania and two times at airtime and really like Tom and his Events. One reason for this is that you can be sure Tom tells the truth even if you don’t like it at first. In his events Tom works with you on your basics and leads you with a lot of pre-exercises to new tricks. Tom is the teacher here in Germany if you want to take tricks out of lines.

With Tom not only the hand-to-hand stands straight, also Flyer and Base. They approve from the point-blank instructions he provides and the firm grip in spotting. Regardless he would never admit it, Tom is really kind and it is always fun (and sweat and tears - of joy) to work with him. Thats why I retourn since 4 years to his events and will for much longer.

Tom is absolutely a go-to teacher for everything h2h related. Great knowledge and understanding, great drills, always a good amount of fun at the workshop. Whenever I try to coach someone I'm actually just quoting Tom xDD

Tom stands for high level acro. If you ever visited one of his workshops you might recognize that his teaching contains lots of technical training - get your basics more solid to build up you tricks. I liked this difference compaired to other teachers/workshops where you "just" work on different tricks. Tom teaches a fundamental base and build-up for nearly every trick in standing acro. That brought our personal acro to a whole new level and I wouldn't have wanna miss it.

I trained with Tom for three weeks at Airtime , in October 2023. Tom is among the two best coaches in the world, along with Jacob Skeffington of Massachusetts. Tom is able to instantly and accurately identify and isolate the key factor that needs to be improved, in order to succeed in tricks, thus saving countless hours using bad technique. I am very much looking forward to training with Tom again, as soon as I can afford to fly to Germany.

I've been training with Tom for several weeks over the past few years. He creates a safe training environment, both mentally and physically, allowing everyone to push themselves towards their goal. I appreciate that he doesn't over-explain things, but still gets the important points across. He has a knack for breaking down tricks into manageable steps, taking individual experiences and bodies into account. His events are well-organized, and you know what to expect. I highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for long term progress in their acrobatics practice. He also has a good sense of humor and makes serious training bearable.
