CloudHands Posted March 18, 2018 On the first vid, I'm shocked by the heel rotation move after the rest of the body. Is it done voluntary ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm used to the opposite. Rotate on the heel As the foot lay on the ground The leg push, transmit to the waist The waist rotate itself and transmit the power to the hand through the back and arm As on this move your right hand is linked to the right foot, I'm surprised she doesn't start her foot up. Hm well, start up with her right foot down. Edited March 18, 2018 by CloudHands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
