Set weight forward and pivot around the lead side

The coach sets about 60-70 percent of his weight on the lead side and tells the student that once it is there he does not need to move any further. From there the only move is to pivot around that lead side, with the knee not dropping downward and everything working on an arc around the lead side. Because the weight is already forward there is no need to slide forward; you simply control depth and turn toward the target.
