Inverted Layback is a footlock skill that seems simple but can easily go wrong if it’s taught too early or with the wrong focus. We teach this at the end of our beginner level or the beginning of our intermediate level, once students have experience moving around on the fabric, a good foundation of grip strength, and understanding of balance.
We also have a very specific way of teaching this skill that makes mishaps much less likely, and does make it safely accessible at a more beginner level. Entering and exiting the skill carefully are equally important in the progressions we detail in our videos.
