Anton Kats introduces you to what he calls autonomous flying. Entering the flight mode through the body, mind and spirit, the preliminary course offers a user manual to assist the reader in independent flying. Based on the two complementary methods of unassisted flying – jumping without landing and throwing oneself on the ground but missing it, this lovely book focuses on the daily repetition of one hundred burpees as a foundation for the first unassisted flight. Based on over ten years of consistent practice, the book superimposes the continuum of take-off and landing on a daily hundredfold repetition.

Kats offers a series of psychogeographical insights, organised as notes, alongside a stop-motion animation of the technique. Activated by the continuity of the reader’s practice, this preliminary course in flying is a springboard of practice for beginners and intermediate practitioners. This workbook is not exhaustive and has been written alongside and during the daily practice of the technique. Accordingly, these two hundred notes on one hundred burpees form an intuitive guide with a set of reflective coordinates and a dynamic space for making your own experiences and mapping your own paths as you continue to grow through your own practice.

This book is actually new, only the covers show some wearage. I can send you pictures if you like, let me know. Drawings and animation were made by Anton Kats with Ihor Kritskiy.

You can animate the drawings by using it as a flipbook, watch the video here:
