Bow and Arrow is a fun and simple footlock skill that we teach to our beginner students. It involves creating tension and pressing out into the fabric for support.
This skill is great for teaching students how to use their legs in a smart and strong way while in footlocks. To create nice lines in this skill requires a good connection to the back of the body. The tensions created in this skill are similar to other beginner level skills like Box Pose, and come into play later in more advanced skills like Pillar Splits and even Cupid.
This skill works from a Figure 8 Footlock or a Dancer Footlock.
