1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Feet may not touch the floor before the completion of the ½ or 1/1 circle.
During a LEG CIRCLE, the hips must be lifted and extended
HELICOPTER : A full alternative leg circle, with the legs close to the chest. Body alignment diagonal on the upper back (feet off the floor). The legs are extended upward and forward and ½ twist initiated from the feet is made to land in push up.
A PUSH UP must be performed with hands and feet touching the floor at the same time, controlled manner.
CAPOEIRA : From optional or a seated, one leg bent, one leg straight, kick the straight leg to the shoulder and simultaneously push on the bent leg to arrive in one arm support, showing a split. Hips must be higher than shoulders in support position
