First, establish a pattern with hands only.
Start by placing the right hand on the left at the right side of the body.
Now start drawing a steep figure 8 (infinity) with your left pinky in front of your body. Left pinky leading, right pinky always following. Do about 8 repetitions slow and controlled to anchor the pattern.
Take your rope, make sure it’s not tangled. Interlace your fingers in the “OK sign” shape above handles.
Take it off to the right side, place your right pinky on top of the left hand and start “slicing” vertically drawing figure 8 in front of your body with left pinky leading the way. This will get you to a nice underhand figure 8.
This movement most closely relates to locomotion. Typically it is harder of the two figure 8’s to learn so that’s why we do it first. If you prefer, stand in a split stance.
