OVERHAND MATADOR (SOUTH) | LEVEL 2 | OCTOMOVES ROPE TRAINING

First, establish a pattern with empty hands. To start, hold your hands across each other and place them on the right side of the body. Do Overhand Propeller action (aka circle) for 1 repetition and on the second - “cut” in front of the body with the right across the body leaving the left hand in place and it gonna play catch up in another side where you will do another circle and on second circle “slice” across the body with left hand leaving the right hand in place. Repeat that action for about 8 reps (each side). Notice that in Overhand thumb is leading in Matadors figure 8 motion.Now apply the rope. Starting position same as empty-handed. Matadors wheel is 4 step skill, that means to get to the starting point you will “visit” 4 positions. It’s gonna be quicker than empty-handed. Start rolling circle and on the second one “slice” with your backhand to another side and then repeat the same steps. Self audible cueing will sound like this: circle, circle-cut, circle, circle-cut; Or 1,2,3,4 where 1 and 3 are a circle, 2 and 4 are cut across the body. Get your OctoRope here: http://octomoves.com
