The sissy to half bridge is a progression towards animalistic movement that will help connect standing postures to hand balances and other soft acrobatic skills.
Cues:
- Squeeze the glutes to open hips before you move into the squat
- Continue squeezing glutes throughout entire range
- Push the knees forward and hips up as you reach to receive the ground
- Contact the ground softly with finger tips then lower full to palm
- Bridge strongly then return to standing while keeping hips fully open
Scale:
- You should be able to do 10 full sissy squats with consistent execution before attempting this skill
Errors:
- Allowing hips to close while entering or exiting half bridge
- Falling or losing control while moving towards the ground
