Setup & key ideas

Before you start

  • Gift-wrap arm control is already established from a balanced technical-mount base.

Key ideas

  • Sit past the tucked foot while keeping your torso upright.
  • Continue across to the underhook side of your seatbelt.

Common pitfalls

  • Dropping your back straight to the mat instead of carrying the turn across.
