Rainbow marchenko and music box/Eagle

XXNatalieXX started this discussion · 7/21/2014

Wondering if anyone can give me tips for Rainbow marchenko and Eagle? I can do janeiro and grab my right foot but when passing it over my head i just fall out. Where should my centre of gravity be? Also with eagle/ music box (everyone has their own name ) what are the correct techniques ie wrap around the side opposite to climbing leg , grab right leg with left hand etc... Thanks so much all xxxx

I have never rainbow'ed from janiero, just cross ankle release, but you really need to pull that foot forward. Pulling the leg is what keeps you balanced. The other leg cannot be straight down until the leg you are pulling is straight overhead. Otherwise, too much weight is going the other way. For an eagle, I cant say there is a "right" way to get in, everyone does it differently, but the cleanest way is to grab the pointed toe/ankle of the leg with the opposite hand and pull it up, ie right leg with left hand. let me know if that helps, or if you need more of an explanation!
