Level: Intermediates and upwards
The Twist Back is a turnover to use when your partner blocks the Pull Through by sticking their leg out and not allowing you to turn them over. By quickly changing direction, you can move them towards a direction they are weaker in, and roll them onto their back.
Next Turnover: Once you’ve got the hang of the Twist Back – try the Step Over.
