Even once we have our invert, it doesn’t mean we have to use it all the time. And if we are looking at longer combos and sequences, or even a whole routine, then we also need to be efficient with our energy (and also grip expectations!). And sometimes the combo just needs more height that we aren’t going to get from a regular invert from the floor! I absolutely don’t expect my Intermediate students to be banging out aerial inverts straight away, or for a whole class!
Using “switch downs” allows us to bridge this gap! Can you spot the technique that brings my hooking knee higher in this skill? Drop what you think it is in the comments!!
