Unlike many online resources, we provide detailed visual guidance using four perspectives:

• Front View: Clear visualization of key movements and gestures.

Plus, we incorporate data-driven motion tracking to enhance your learning:

• Angle Rotation: Precise measurements for foot and body rotation (left and right).
• Distance Markers: Understand the correct spacing between hands and feet.
