The Coup de 3

The Coup de 3 is, I think, easier to master than the coup de 4 as the knob is usually held closer in the "cage" and the thought process is easier.

	The start position is the same as the coup de 4 but the hand is closed round the knob and contact is made with the base of the thumb. The motion is a push with the forearm.
	The second coup is achieved by pulling back the forearm - contact is made with the index and second fingers as in the coup de 4.
	The third coup is performed by lifting the forearm - contact is made on the 3rd and 4th fingers as in the coup de 4.

Think of a triangle with one side vertical.
