One Arm Basic Movement Maps

The following movement maps show each of the arm movements for one arm.

Say the name of the movement and the position the arm is moving into then do the move.

Repeat each set four times, switching arms each time.

Forward and Backward Moves, Horizontal Positions.

The Forward and Backward moves are simple ways to learn the positions while also practicing two basic movements. In the two sets below the focus is on the horizontal positions.

To get extra comfortable with these positions you can practice incrementing the start position for each repetition. So first start from position 1, then start from position 2 (and finish at position 2) then from position 3 and so on.

Forward and Backward Moves, Vertical Positions

Here the focus is on using the F and B moves to get familiar with the Vertical positions.

Here again, you can repeat increment your start position by one position after each repetition.

ChangeForward and ChangeBackward Moves, Odd Numbered Positions

The ChangeForward and ChangeBackward movement changes plane each move. In this set the focus is on the CF and CB that move through the odd numbered horizontal positions.

ChangeForward and ChangeBackward Moves, Even Numbered Positions

In this set the focus is on the CF and CB that move through the odd numbered horizontal positions.

Transquarter

For the Transquarter and all remaining Acyclic moves, we use four starting positions, not two. Alternate arms after each start and for extra practice use all 8 positions to start from.
