It is a difficult move, yes, and a hell painful one. But most moves in pole are anyway, and this move should not be any different.
However, if you remember, I blogged in 08 nov 08 that I attended a pole pract with mostly level 6 students inside. One thing I remembered from that session, other than the fact that they all had 6 packs and I still don't, was this girl learning knee hold. She was having difficulty and had to drag a chair over to assist her. Since then, knee hold has been held high on my pedestal, even as my instructor insisted that there are harder moves than knee hold.
And I did it. I did the ONE move which I think would mark the "graduation" from pole. There are still LOTS to learn but knowing that I have come a long way is just soooooo gratifying...
I am glad I blogged...
Eunice, this is for you!!!
