Pivot into the trail leg, do not sway

The instructor distinguishes the sandbag move from a sway. The body pivots into the trail leg and puts pressure into it, which lets the leg power down into the swing; too much control or too little intention prevents this.

Try it

  1. A sway is this
  2. My body's pivoting here into this trail leg
  3. putting pressure into this leg
  4. power down into the swing
  5. If you don't have intention to add momentum

Why this context matters

This clarifies that the momentum trigger is pressure/pivot, not lateral sway.
