I'm going to cover several combo exits from this beautiful and impressive trick. Have no fear—I'll take it nice and slow by starting off on the floor. Then when you feel ready, I'll break it down for you from a Gemini on the pole. You will need a strong Gemini, Inverted thigh hold, and Shooting star before working on this move. The top hand will be in Cup grip. You can use a true grip as well, but I find this places more strain on my wrist.
When you're new to training Dragons Tail from up on the pole it's important to drill yourself to tuck the chin to the chest anytime you're upside down. Chin to chest is considered the safest way to protect your head in a fall. Relaxing the body is also important.
