Setenta Doble
The seventy, twice over. The hammerlock-and-unravel module run on both arms before it resolves.
What This Move Is
Setenta Doble = "double seventy." The Setenta's hammerlock-and-unravel module performed twice — once on each side — before the resolution. The lead preps and runs the first 70 hammerlock and half-walk, but instead of resolving he catches the other arm into a second hammerlock and walks that open too, doubling the wrap before switching places and exiting. Exact club choreography may vary — verify against your teacher's version.
Key Points
- Lead: Keep both hammerlock arms low and finish the first unravel cleanly before catching the second — don't let the two wraps overlap into a knot.
- Follow: Be turned into each hammerlock in turn (your own arm behind your back each time) and let yourself be half-walked through both before the final switch.
- Timing: Prep on 7, first hammerlock 1-2-3 and unravel 5-6-7, second hammerlock on the next 1-2-3 and unravel 5-6-7, resolution on the following 8.
- Common mistake: Raising either arm during the wraps (jamming the shoulder), or rushing so the second hammerlock starts before the first has cleanly opened.
Style Notes
A direct doubling of the root Setenta — same module, run on both arms, in the spirit of Enchufla Doble and Sombrero Doble. A longer break-section combo that rewards a clean, automatic hammerlock.
