The Knee Hook Mounts to a high sling are one of the quickest ways to get up into an aerial sling that’s set pretty high away from the ground. If a student can only reach the bottom of the sling, or can only grab near the bottom of the sling, then these mounts work great. These mounts require a student to get lifted up a bit higher than a regular Pullover and then get their knee hooked high, so in our aerial sling teaching curriculum we put these in the higher level of strength category.

Our aerial sling tutorial video covers three different variations of the Knee Hook Mounts on a high sling, and drills to help aerial sling students succeed with them.
