about the innovation
What is Chatkalina?
What we do?
Two or more people fasten two wooden pieces, called chatkalini (pl.), to the palms of their hands (one each) and begin to meet each other's palms in space in differet combinations. One has to learn a series of movement modules and combine them creatively.
Why we do it?
We transform the asymmetrical workouts and the martial arts into a peaceful art and a dance technology, in order to improve brain activity, maintain our physical condition and teach each other equal collaboration.
