The Circular Ocho Cortado is the quintessential variation of the Ocho Cortado, it is the one Cortado that actually looks like or resembles the idea of the literal translation of the word, Cortado > “Cut(ted)” Ocho. However, in this version of the Cut Ocho, the Follower is led to a Forward step, which almost NEVER happens in Ochos. Typically the Ocho that’s led is the Follower’s Traveling Backward Ocho! Never forwards! At the same time, mostly this version of the Cortado is used in one place: Europe. So for the European users watching this, you’ll wonder what’s the big deal ? For Americans, an everywhere else except Buenos Aires, you’re likely more familiar with the Linear Ocho Cortado! Which is a lovely segue and reminder to you to follow the link below.
