'Scorpion-tail' to half Role
Groundwork integrations
•
44s
THE WHAT & HOW:
A simple integration between the fundamental 'Role' and 'Scorpion-tail' patterns. In order to lead direction into the 'Scorpion', the 'Role' is performed in only half of its full pattern, with the first arc being "drawn" only.
In "touching down" after the scorpion, note that the weight of the body is rested on the BALL of the foot (SITTING on the HEEL and NOT a flat-foot) through which a vertical axis passes to the head and offers high (transverse) ROTATIONAL potential.

Negativa leg-switch (NLS) & Role
THE WHAT:
A simple switching of the forward-leg in the upright phase of the 'Negativa' form. Note that all transitioning from side-to-side and movement through space in the 'NLS' takes place "sitting" on the heel with weight through the BALL of the foot, just as in the pivoting transition of the ...
