I’ll teach you how to build the core and pulling strength to hold your body parallel to the ground, step by step. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Practicing the Human Flag on the bars. Each session is an opportunity to refine the technique, hold it a little longer, or make it a little cleaner.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0d351578-78e0-4dde-afe2-901b380e0a18) - [Video: Finally getting a flag on the OG pole at the Faktory.

We don’t just jump on the bar; we break it down into manageable progressions, from the tucked side lever to the full flag. It’s going to be tough, and you will have days where nothing feels right, but that’s where the real progress happens. You just need to show up and be patient. ### Building the Foundation Many people think you need to be a professional gymnast to pull off a Human Flag. That's not the case. At Chaos Faktory in HSR Layout, we focus on the mechanics. If you can't hold a side lever, we don't start with the flag. We start with the basics—hollow body holds, scapular pulls, and conditioning your grip. It’s about building the prerequisite strength so your body doesn't just hang; it locks into place. ### My Approach to Progression I treat every student differently because everyone’s starting point is different. When you come in for training, we look at where your strength gaps are. Are you lacking core stability? Is your shoulder mobility the bottleneck? I've spent years learning from the best calisthenics athletes and hand-balancers, and I bring those techniques here. Whether you are working toward your first muscle-up or trying to fix your form on a back lever, the coaching is manual and hands-on. ### Why the Faktory Vibe Matters Training alone is lonely. Training at the Faktory is a different experience. You’ll be in a group where everyone is trying to unlock their next skill. When you finally hit that position, the energy from the room is something else—that ‘ye aa gaya ye!’ moment is real. We keep the sessions intense but supportive. No egos, no gatekeeping, just people pushing their boundaries. - **Safety First:** We use foam pits and crash mats, so you can practice your inversions and lever transitions without the fear of hitting the floor. - **Practical Setup:** You have access to the same equipment I use, including Lache bars, rings, and various apparatuses for functional movement. - **Flexible Learning:** Whether you want to join our high-intensity group sessions or need 1-on-1 coaching for specific skill acquisition, we have a path for you. ## About Delson Joy D'Souza I'm Delson, and for me, fitness is about movement, not just gym routines. At my studio in HSR Layout, we keep things raw—no fancy equipment, just you, the bars, and a crew that’s actually happy to see you get better.
