The drill is the advanced drop then wipe. So the drop in the wipe is a drill

2
00:00:05.800 --> 00:00:06.060
for

3
00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:11.400
blending the transition into the release. The advanced version just gets into a

4
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:16.540
little bit more details into what this arm should actually be doing. So during

5
00:00:16.540 --> 00:00:21.360
this drop we're gonna break it down a little bit more. During this drop I want

6
00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:25.880
you to feel like your arm is actually going to externally rotate as your

7
00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:29.980
shoulder works a little bit more into retraction or that shoulder blade works

8
00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:33.320
more in towards your spine. So it's already a little bit in towards your

9
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.920
spine at the top and then as you drop it's going to have this feeling of

10
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:44.840
working a little bit more in towards it. Now as we get into the wipe this wipe

11
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:45.040
is

12
00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:49.610
going to be a little bit more with your palm up but your palm facing out. So it

13
00:00:49.610 --> 00:00:49.660
's

14
00:00:49.660 --> 00:00:53.480
no longer really an effective wiping the counter because now I've only got that

15
00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:58.120
part that would be pushing stuff away but it's still working across your body

16
00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:03.320
and it's going to be more in this orientation like so as opposed to like

17
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:09.280
this. So it would be more of there's the drop and then there's the white. Now

18
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:09.440
if I

19
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:14.120
finish that wipe I'm gonna have that little palm push or palm strike at the

20
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:20.250
end. So it's going to be drop externally rotate, cup the wrist and then wipe

21
00:01:20.250 --> 00:01:20.480
and

22
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:25.400
extend. So that's the advanced version of the drop then wipe and that helps

23
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:25.680
kind

24
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.720
of take care of the motorcycle move as we get into this delivery position and

25
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:34.880
allows you to just be aggressive in letting your arms and your legs extend

26
00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:37.640
through the release.
