Hello everyone!
Tomoa & Ikedai!
Ikedai: So what's up today? Tomoa: It's how to Pogo (Moon Kick). Many requests we got.
Ikedai: Yes, sir! Tomoa: Right!
To start, I explain what is pogo technic.
Pogo is a move to swing your leg widely toward the direction of the next hand hold.
There is always a way to climb by just standing up with your foot.
However, pogo is a jumping move using centrifugal force created by swinging leg.
So we should use pogo in a move which has only one feet hold on the opposite side of your direction.
In this move, your want to go to the left and only one feet hold is on your right.
In other move, pogo is good when your foot is deep down.
You may find it difficult to stand up because your foot is deep.
But if you do Pogo (Moon Kick), you can easily bring up your body.
Moreover, it's good when you do not want your body "Rotate".
Ikedai: What???
Tomoa: Let me explain.
If you jump by using left feet, your body rotates in this way.
I use pogo to prevent my body rotates especially when the next hand hold is not so good to hold.
You can use pogo to keep axis of a body in the same "Surface".
I have shown pretty much I guess.
Oops! I also use pogo if the next hand hold is under or easy hold. (Depends on a foot hold.)
When you use pogo starting with your right leg, it's likely that your barycenter goes onto left leg.
But if you jump with left leg, your barycenter goes onto right hand.
It's totally different from using pogo.
Alright next!! I teach you some tips.
And this, I've been talking many time. Be relaxed.
Ikedai: Again, sir!
Tomoa: I say this many.
Tomoa: Look at me. How do I look?
Ikedai: Not good... Tomoa: No.
Be relaxed and swing well.
Tomoa: So softly.
It was a rule No.1.
Rule No.2.
You need to manage a balance between swinging leg and pulling hand.
Pogo is a unique move because you don't swing leg like this much in general. So it is difficult to get a timing.
You should not let your leg comes before you fully accelerate.
Also you cannot be in good position after full acceleration.
So what I suggest is "You make a move when your leg just across the hip line".
You jump when your leg just goes thought out from the hip line.
Ikedai: I see.
Too fast to make a move.
Too late to make a move.
Good timing. Just as your leg pass your hip.
Rule No. 3.
This. Sorry if you feel "What", but...
even I've been talking about leg swing, it's more important to bring up your hip.
Tomoa: Please don't blame me.
When you are focusing on swing leg too much, your hip position goes down.
Concentrate on swinging and your body position is down like this.
So in fact. You don't need to make your leg straight. You should rather bring your hip up.
I feel it more like knee kicking move.
Like trying to kick the wall by your knee.
Although I was saying to swing...
If you master the move, it's this.
Ikedai: What???
Tomoa: Instant movement.
Ikedai: Sure, your are the master.
I talked about 3 point today. I hope you can be a better pogo climber.
To be a master, you need to practice many times.
Ikedai! Please come here to review today's lesson!
Ikedai: I am pretty confident today.
Tomoa: Tell me the lesson No.1.
Reeeeelax!
You don't have to be stressed. Just be relax and make your move more dynamic.
Tomoa: No.2!!
Ikedai: No.2 is the timing. Tomoa: Yes.
Swanigan leg position is important when you jump.
In my opinion, you should jump up as your leg pass hip line. Also you pull your hand towards.
Last one. No.3!
Ikedai: Care about the hip position to be up!
Not to focus on leg only, but to have your hip up!
Ikedai: OK
Tomoa: I think everyone thinks Pogo (Moon Kick) is a difficult technic. But once your get an idea, it relatively easy.
Kids can also do this and I feel it's an effortless move instead.
Ikedai: You got to know it. Tomoa: Si.
Tomoa: Pogo is definitely in my top 3 cool moves. So let's move on.
Tomoa: This is it for today!
