Key steps

  1. Break their posture and control one of their arms at the wrist or sleeve.
  2. Pivot your hips out and swing your leg over their shoulder so it wraps their arm.
  3. Come up to sitting, facing the way they face, and hug around their waist.
  4. Walk your hips away and lean forward slowly to rotate the shoulder.

Key details

  • Their usual way out is to somersault forward, so tie up their hips before anything else.
  • Keep their trapped arm bent and tight to your hip.
  • Finish with slow, small movements and stop at the tap.
