I can really see that i go back about 3-4 inches too far. also it would be good to do this closer because it seems we over extend sometimes to reach the other person. I guess though that the reaching is to go practice staying rooted at o really extreme range.

ReplyDeleteSo, when I look at the this video, it looks like you are sitting back on your right foot rather than having a diagonal angle to your hips, which is what Ed would call the 'hip track'. There should be a diagonal line from the hip socket into the back foot. It's almost like we can hear a clunk as the acetabulum falls into the hip socket. My push then leads directly into the ground along a diagonal line. The diagonal is inviting my push to end up on the ground. If you drop a plumb line from the tail bone, the plumb line never approaches the marginal area of the rear heel. Whereas, in this picture, and in some of the other movements, the plumb line sometimes goes over past the rear heel. At that point it is impossible or at least extremely difficult for the 'rebound' energy (your push that ended up under your heel) to get past your knee. Consequently, you either get backed up at bum level over your heel, or, as with Eileen, she gets backed up through the upper torso.
