Pivot - Relax the Arms
None
- 00:00
- The next thing as you're working on easier pivots
- 00:02
- for followers and leaders too,
- 00:04
- but especially followers, is followers tend
- 00:06
- to freeze in their arms
- 00:08
- because that makes it feel more stable.
- 00:11
- And so, as an example, if she's pivoting me
- 00:15
- and I freeze in my arms, I don't, let me zoom in actually.
- 00:19
- So if I freeze in my arms, come on,
- 00:23
- zoom in. Oh, this one, it
- 00:25
- Needs the magic word.
- 00:27
- Okay. Oh, this way. Okay, here we go.
- 00:30
- So if I'm here, if I freeze in my arms as she pivots me,
- 00:35
- by definition it's gonna move me off balance.
- 00:38
- But on the other hand, if I, once I find the ball
- 00:41
- of my foot, if I let my mouth be just a little movable,
- 00:45
- then it becomes a lot easier.
- 00:47
- Wow. That is so easy. So I want to, I want you to see that,
- 00:49
- uh, both zoomed in, not, and not,
- 00:51
- but the point is that, uh, once you learn to pivot,
- 00:56
- this is not an idea for a, a brand new follower.
- 00:59
- So you can wait six months.
- 01:01
- Once you get really comfortable with front ocho,
- 01:03
- then you can start to say, well, when I shift,
- 01:05
- I'll let the arms relax a little bit,
- 01:08
- and then that'll make the pivot a lot smoother. Let's
- 01:11
- Do that. And easier for both
- 01:12
- of us.
- 01:12
- It's easier for the leader too on the leader, by the way,
- 01:15
- From another line.
- 01:21
- Right? And so that makes the pivot much smoother.
- 01:23
- And you can, uh, there's this, uh, story.
- 01:26
- I don't know if it's true or not. I imagine it's true.
- 01:28
- And they say that, for example, uh, willows,
- 01:30
- I think in Japan here.
- 01:33
- How do we zoom in that here? So I can tell you the story,
- 01:35
- willows in Japan, I think they'll, they'll bend in the face
- 01:38
- of the winds and because of that, they don't break.
- 01:41
- And the sort of the oak trees, which are very stiff when,
- 01:44
- when it's torrential fan, uh, winds that they'll break.
- 01:48
- And so the point is, when you let your arms adjust,
- 01:50
- they can dynamically fix your balance.
- 01:53
- But if your balance goes off a little bit
- 01:55
- and the arm is stiff, then it tends to,
- 01:57
- yeah, just get worse and worse.
- 01:58
- Amber, thank you.
