My DD's class has been working shoot throughs and it seems like her long legs are not working in her favor for this skill. Anyone else experience the same? Can this skill be done when the legs are long but arm length not so much [emoji56]
 
My DD has a similar build -- short arms, but not so short legs (average to long). I agree that a good cast will be key. My DD did master the shoot through/mil circle with some work. Still struggling with those straddle press handstands though (she can only do one from sitting) -- hard to get enough clearance on those short arms to get the legs straddled and up to handstand! Ugh.
 
Thank you for the reassurance! I hadn't even thought about the press handstands. I'm sure that will be my worry next year or two [emoji56]
