So Paul has received his long pole this week.

Let’s start the practice.

Here’s a short and simple practice for 6 days :-

a) Day 1-2 – practice Technique 5 & 6 everyday for 300 reps
i) Stand in readiness, right side forward, pole gripped shoulder width, positioned level to ground
ii) Do Technique 5, then Technique 6
iii) Step forward and do 10 reps
iv) Turn around and do 10 reps
v) Repeat (iii) and (iv) for a total of 15 times

b) Day 3-4 – switch to Technique 6 & 7
i) Stand in readiness, right side forward, pole gripped shoulder width, positioned level to ground
ii) Do Technique 6, then Technique 7
iii) Step forward and do 10 reps
iv) Turn around and do 10 reps
v) Repeat (iii) and (iv) for a total of 15 times

c) Day 5-6 – practice Technique 5 to 7
i) Stand in readiness, right side forward, pole gripped shoulder width, positioned level to ground
ii) Do Technique 5, then Technique 6 and 7
iii) Step forward and do 10 reps
iv) Turn around and do 10 reps
v) Repeat (iii) and (iv) for a total of 15 times

By Day 6 you should have questions after you become more familiar with the movements. That’s when you can begin to go into basic biomechanics of moving the long pole.
