Antibrids & body tracing / LESSON 08
Tutting framework
Drex presents Rico, also known as Solriso's, compact 3-by-2 framework: anchor one hand at the opposite shoulder, fold between sides, then add antispins, depth, and right-angle relationships.

Steps
Before you begin
- Grip
- Use center grips. In the crossed home position, each hand is level with the opposite shoulder. Keep the thumb and pinkie ends identifiable through folds.
- Stance
- Begin facing forward with enough space to extend either arm sideways. Drex demonstrates feet apart and later turns his torso for the three-dimensional variations.
- Plane
- Start with a compact vertical 3-by-2 grid in front of the torso. Later variations deliberately move outward toward the audience.
Things to notice
- Letting both hands make large circles erases the opposite-shoulder anchor that organizes the basic pattern.
- Treating this as the larger classical staff grid can displace the fold checkpoints.
- Missing the pinkie-end overlap makes the antispin folds harder to recognize and reconnect.
- Keeping the staffs parallel during the Chu-chu variation removes its intended right-angle relationship.
- A flat diagram cannot teach the depth and wrist orientation of the outward-facing variations.
