3-POINT STANCE.
STEP 1.
Stand with feet a little more than shoulder-width apart. If you’re going to put your left hand down, make sure your left foot/ toe is aligned with the heel of the right foot. If you’re going to put your right hand down, make sure your right foot/ toe is aligned with the heel of the left foot.
STEP 2.
Squat down and rest forearms on thighs.
STEP 3.
Reach out with either your left or right hand at an angle of approximately °45. *Whichever hand you reach out with, that is the foot/ toe that should be aligned to the heel of the opposite foot.
STEP 4.
Fall forward onto the outstretched hand.
STEP 5.
Push through the ground and Explode (plantarflexion of foot) out and up, off of your forward foot while driving your rear leg forward.
4-POINT STANCE.
STEP 1.
Stand with your feet a little more than shoulder-width apart.
STEP 2.
Squat down and rest forearms on thighs.
STEP 3.
Reach out with both hands at an angle of approximately °45. *In a 4-point, there isn’t really an advantage to dropping one foot/ toe to the heel of the opposite foot.
STEP 4.
Fall forward onto the outstretched hands.
STEP 5.
Push through the ground and Explode (plantarflexion of foot) out and up, off of both feet, while driving your “lead” foot in the initial movement direction. If your initial movement is left, your left foot is your “lead” foot, and vice versa.
