Technique recap

A light flow game where your partner tries to walk around your legs while you keep your feet and knees between you. It builds the reflexes solo drills can't.

3 key details

  • Feet and knees always face your partner.
  • Use your hands on their shoulders or biceps as frames.
  • Reset calmly instead of exploding.
