This afternoon we managed to taped a 25-minute session on the error of Tossing. In this mini lesson, I had to integrate the concepts of tossing, moving and rotation into one. Really, I could not talk about Tossing in isolation. An exercise called 3-count stepping was introduced to combat Tossing.

Hands get warm 1

by webmaster on 2010/10/20
