When you apply a technique, you will have 3 options:
You may use your:
1. hand -You may have to drop down low and expose your head (more risky).
2. leg - You may end with single leg balance (poor balance)
3. 1/2 leg and 1/2 hand - You have to deal with the switching between leg and hand (more complicate).
Which method do you prefer?
