Today was a great practice.  I have been working on turning my left foot in the back of the ring without shifting my weight or rising.  If I can turn my left foot, my next goal is to keep my right foot dorsiflexed (toe up) and my right knee bent while entering the center of the ring.  OK…lets say I do those things well….next my goal is to “face the throw”.  This means I will work my right leg and hip in front of my shoulders while looking toward the throwing sector.  This will keep my weight on the back of the ring while maximizing separation between the right hip and right shoulder which leads to farther throws.  Here is my most recent training video showing what I have been working on.  See if you can see what I’m talking about and feel free to comment
