VOLT PIVOT

点规 (pivot/compass) β€” one foot stays on a cone as the pivot point while the other foot arcs around it, like a compass drawing a circle.

点规 as a move class​

点规 is both a specific move and a movement category:

  • As a class: any move where one foot is the pivot (εœ†εΏƒ) and the other draws an arc
  • Most common basic move in this class: Volt

Volt step-by-step​

Step 1 β€” Setup​

  • Outer-eight stance, right foot near cone line
  • Pull left foot back to first cone, bend knees, lower center of gravity
  • Fix the pivot foot position

Step 2 β€” Forward pivot (正点规)​

  • Shoulder drives the right foot through an arc
  • Skating foot arcs to upper side of two-cone gap
  • Body rotates 180 degrees
  • Keep shoulders balanced, minimize secondary adjustments mid-rotation

Step 3 β€” Switch pivot foot​

  • Between cones 1 and 2, swap which foot is the pivot
  • Feet form an isosceles triangle relative to the cone line
  • Pull new pivot foot back to cone 3

Step 4 β€” Reverse pivot (倒点规)​

  • Arc the skating foot again, rotating 180 degrees back to starting orientation
  • Bring feet together β†’ return to starting position
  • Repeatable infinitely

Four-direction pivots (四向点规)​

Pivots have four states based on foot alignment:

  1. Inner-eight parallel pivot
  2. Outer-eight parallel pivot
  3. Cross inner-eight pivot
  4. Cross outer-eight pivot (hardest β€” feels anti-human)

Practice all four in sequence for complete pivot mastery.

Key details​

  • Skating foot primarily uses outer edge (ε€–εˆƒ) during the arc
  • The arc foot trajectory = front/back parallel inner/outer-eight + front/back crossed inner/outer-eight
