In today’s class we focused on Six Sealing Four Closing.
Six Sealing and Four Closing

The front shoulder need to have a line to the rear foot.

Moving the hand will tie a knot in the body. Thinking of how to reel in with the spool to bring in the hose, and how to get the hose out by holding the end and pulling it out.
All important moves are difficult. Read more
Greece
- At the beginning we repeated the move we were training on 2.11.2020: Lock hand and shoulder on the same line. Move the elbow upward toward the hand/shoulder line
- This move is the foundation. The power comes indirectly. Only this way we can cause a bounce
