This trick is a great way to prepare yourself for other more advanced hip holds like the Pike, Inverted Lotus and Jade. Pay close attention to the points of contact and remember to place the pole high on the thigh, near the hip, hence the name hip hold.
When you're new to training Hip holds 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.
