How to Play Stick exercise

This exercise involves 2 players. A broom handle is also required. At each end of the stick there is a player standing and pressing the palm of the flat hand, facing the other player, against the stick. This must not (never) be grasped. A permanent connection between the two players - without the stick falling down - therefore only exists if both of them exert sufficient pressure on the stick. One of them is the leader, he walks, moves and pushes the stick. He may also make dislocations, stop, use all possible heights between floor and ceiling, etc. The other, the "driven", must react permanently, i. e. exert counter-pressure in every situation by compensating for or participating in the movements, because the task is not to let the stick fall down despite the permanent movements.
