Long Description
- The feet point forwards and stand at about shoulder width apart. The legs bend at the knees so that the thighs are close to being parallel to the ground. The upper body is straight and bends forward. The arm extends down and holds the Smashbell in the hand.
- The Smashbell is lifted slightly off the floor. The legs and hips explosively extend and with the swing the Smashbell is pulled up with the arm close to the body. Leave the upper arm close to the body until the Smashbell passes the elbow. Then bring the Smashbell forward and flip the Smashbell in front of the chest.
- While exhaling, extend the arm and bring the Smashbell controlled, back to the ground. The upper body is brought forward again, with a straight back.
