same side knee hook: |
 |
|
from hanging free by both hands, with fabric tail passing to one side of the
body, invert and straddle (different stylings are possible here), and hook one
knee over fabric above hands. the knee used is the one on the same side of the
body as the fabric tail. square hips to the ceiling and extend the free leg
back (position shown in photo). this is the intermediate position for the
same-side climb.
from here, release the opposite-side hand, drop head back to look straight down, grab fabric tail, and bring it under the small of the back, held tight with opposite-side hand against the hip: this is a stable position, and the grip of the opposite-side hand by itself can easily support the body's weight. |
