Sent you an email but for other readers who might have the same question I thought I should answer here. Your best bet is look for an RKC instructor in your area at dragondoor.com. It’s really easy to think you are doing a move correctly and then to find out you aren’t. (I did that with one arm cleans and now I’m having a heck of a time fixing them b/c of muscle memory.) If that’s not possible look for videos or books by people who are RKC certified. Youtube does have some great videos and one of the better channels is Iron Core’s channel. Hope this helps.
