Antibrids & body tracing / LESSON 04

Antibrid boxes

Travel around the hips and shoulders by orbiting one hand around the other, then swapping the reel and antispin jobs at straight-line alignments.

Schematic motion. Body proportions and finger contact are approximate; compare with the source. One cycle = 6 seconds at 1×.

Steps

Before you begin

Grip: Keep each hand near its staff center. Name the end beside the thumb the thumb end and the opposite end the pinkie end.
Stance: Start facing forward with both hands at the hips. Keep the torso free to turn through the shoulder sections.
Plane: Hands travel between four body landmarks. Reel ends pass in front of and behind the hip or shoulder, so the apparent box is a front-view teaching map rather than one fixed physical plane.

Things to notice

The hand-only captions contain left/right slips. The clear recap at 2:28 and the demonstrated destinations resolve the order.
Moving directly to the next corner omits the full orbit plus quarter that distinguishes this pattern from a simple four-position box.
The third section requires the reel to pass behind the shoulder; keeping both staffs entirely in front changes the movement.
Clockwise and counterclockwise depend on viewing direction. Use the named body landmarks when learning from a front-facing diagram.
