Baby Bolo

Position Details

The baby bolo is a simplified berimbolo variation that sweeps without requiring a full inversion. It's more accessible for those still developing inversion skills.

Key Principles

  • From DLR, grip their belt and near-side collar
  • Kick your DLR hook while pulling with your grips
  • Spin to your knees as they fall forward
  • Come up behind them or to top position

Concepts

  • Partial Spin: You don't need to fully invert - just rotate to your knees
  • Grip Pull: The belt grip is crucial for pulling yourself through
  • Hook Kick: Your DLR hook kicks to initiate their forward fall
  • Knee Recovery: Coming to your knees quickly is key to finishing
