Pak Salto progressions

These drills emphasizing under-rotation from the start.

Do as many progressions without spot as possible. Some gymnasts have trouble doing the final skill without the spotter — especially those who tend to over-rotate. They fear hitting feet on the high rail.

Coach Jeremy Mosier considered introducing Pak before Flyaway with beginners. I believe that would work.
