Learning a shoulder mount is a BIG step, so give yourself time to achieve this move. In this lesson you'll learn several grip options and several variations like the shoulder mount, shoulder V/straddle, shoulder dismount, and shoulder mount split.
You'll learn static and spinning pole techniques along with prep moves to help build your strength and timing.
Did you know your thumb position matters when it comes to using the cup grip? Let's take a look.
A. Thumb closed - This is the most common thumb placement you'll see, but if you feel like you can't manage a secure grip, try the thumb open (B) option instead!
B. Thumb open. My personal favorite. This one is great for increasing stability!
C. Thumb extended. Useful for some transitions from shoulder mount!
