Two or three Cadet volunteers will now demonstrate one of the stationary movements shown in the video. As a class, vote on which demonstrator(s) performed the movements correctly. Why do you think the movements were performed correctly or incorrectly?
Reflection: What does our class know about stationary movements? What do you need to know in order to perform precise stationary movements?
Think about how stationary movements are executed in the following examples.
