# Lesson 3.3

Guided **step-by-step** exercises for practicing anatomical restriction from both roles: dynamic range, the forearm’s point of strength, grip, and arms behind the back, preceded by the process of conscious practice. Mastering them is necessary before applying more complex techniques.

 Estimated reading time: 67 minutes.

The person tying offers a point of support on which the person being tied rests part of their weight; in this way, the kinetic circuits of both bodies combine, and that weight can be turned into energy to move them both.

 Estimated reading time: 2 minutes.
