Hoop Tutorial: Escalator Knee Break Tutorial with Emma Kenna

HOOP TUTORIAL with Emma Kenna

6 options for reversing the direction using the knee from a reverse escalator.
1 and 2 = faking it with the elbow
3 and 4 = Leg comes up and swings out
5 and 6 = Leg comes up and swings in

Time Codes
1. Left Elbow, Left Knee 0:18
2. Right Elbow, Right Knee 1:30
3. Left Knee (Swing Out) 2:17
4. Right Knee (Swing Out) 3:43
5. Right Knee (Swing In) 4:43
6. Left Knee (Swing In) 5:54

I am by no means a master of these but I thought it’d be useful for me to put them all in one place so I could understand what’s going on - if it helps you guys too - bonus!!

Top tips:
** Aim for the leg crease
** Bring the knee up high
** Aim for the reversal to happen when the hoop falls to it’s lowest point

I filmed this tutorial on my last computer, half edited it and then got side-tracked. Apologies for the frogs and other Bali noises in the second half of the voice over :P
