Yes both arms by the sides and aiming to get a shoulder into the eye line in each rotation. Hold in the rotated positions for a couple of seconds before doing a smooth switch through, pay attention to body position as you’re rotating, don’t compromise it!
Hi Henry, with "rotational kick on back" are arms by sides? Thanks.
