The Macaco Online Course is a structured, step-by-step training program that guides you toward learning the Macaco with clarity, safety, and confidence.

"The online courses allowed me to get familiar with Kenan’s style at my own pace, from my own country, before travelling to join his workshops in person. The step-by-step guidance is especially helpful for the trickier movements, giving you time to really absorb them.
Having completed that online foundation, made a real difference when I later attended his Advanced Summer Intensives in Berlin. Since the pace was faster in the live group setting, I found it valuable to already have some physical understanding of the movements I encountered. The course also helped me to see what to prepare for in advance (handstand strength, back mobility, others).
Overall, I found the online course a very useful supplement to the live workshops.
Thanks, Kenan!"

"I want to send in my gratitude for the course and for you, thank you! I had enjoyed the materials and the time to experiment and to work with my body, the training, and being surprised by its possibilities! The way you work with your body constantly inspired me!

"Practice is going amazing! I'm loving the material so far. There are so many details that I have been missing previously, and working on them now with your instruction I am already feeling much smoother and have more creative opportunities. I also super appreciate the great production value of the videos! It's really apparent the work you put into making them look great and it definitely makes the whole experience feel really nice and professional."

Yes. The course guides you through the complete macaco, from preparation and prerequisites to applying the arch, stacking, and final execution of the movement.
