Felix takes a deep, deep dive into footage of Truck’s offence from US Open 2024, in advance of USAU Nationals 2024. Rhino beat Truck in the quarters at Nationals two days after this video was published, and messaged Felix saying they found the clips and concepts in this video helpful.
At the recent Disc-In camp, Valeria Cardenas and Felix Shardlow teamed up for a presentation about the Cardenas sisters and their unique style. We took a look at a selection of videos which Valeria had picked out, and talked about topics ranging from give-go technique against a mark, hucking, the benefit of no-pivot throws and pivot throws, fielding the pull, the contrasting styles between the US teams and Colombia, and more. Full video available to Training Tier patrons.
Colombia are one of the favourites to take gold in the women’s division of this year’s WUC. A big reason for this is their suffocating defense. Noah breaks down two examples of how Colombia approach defending horizontal stacks using a potent mixture of poaching, bracketing and switching.
In this video Felix takes a look at the unconventional moves of Kristýna Tlustá, as she takes unusual options which are shown to be very effective at building flow and maintaining East Block’s offensive attack.
Hey everyone, it’s that time where we get to suggest rules to be changed. Head over to the wfdf rules forum to make your suggestions https://rules.wfdf.sport/forums/forum/suggestion-for-2025-2029-rules/
One change suggested by Patron Baptiste is one of my favourite rules changes ideas, he identified the problem that calling a marking infraction isn’t really worth it right now – maybe that would change if the marking infraction rules were streamlined but also larger penalties should be considered in my opinion (e.g stall reduction by 2-3).

Throwing whilst running is allowed in the rules of Ultimate – Tobe Decraene heard about this loophole and has been using it to his advantage as much as possible – including against the USA’s travel calls in the World U24 Championships Final. WFDF Rules Chair Rueben Berg discusses the legality of the move, Felix looks at the technique and training needed to do it yourself, and we break down multiple examples of the move being used by Decraene in the 2023 season – scrutinising each clip for potential travelling. Will this Run’n’Gun move take off next season?

In the penultimate episode in this series, Noah looks at the Bronze medal match, a super clean affair between Colombia and Germany, teams with two contrasting styles. Both teams had a great outing at the 2022 World Games and will be building for 2025 in Chengdu – can either claim the gold next time round?
An absolutely insane game, with only 3 turnovers and plenty of big plays! France come out on top and advance to the final of the World Beach Ultimate Championships and Noah walks us through exactly how they did it!
