Backwards Roll

COMMON PROBLEMS

Warm-up: Start with a good warm-up, including stretching and cardio exercises. This will help prepare your body for the physical demands of the backwards roll.

1. Starting Position: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your arms out in front of you and palms down.

2. Squat: Begin by squatting down, bending your knees and lowering your body towards the floor.

3. Tuck: Place your hands on the ground in front of you, shoulder-width apart, and tuck your chin into your chest.

4. Roll: Push off with your feet, roll backwards onto your upper back. Put your hands behind your head to help support your weight and continue rolling until your body is back on your feet. Make sure to tuck your head and neck in and use your core muscles to control the roll.

5. Land: Land on the balls of your feet and absorb the impact by bending your knees slightly.

6. Finish: Stand up straight, with your arms out in front of you, and take a moment to catch your breath before attempting another backwards roll.

Remember, this is a relatively simple move but it still requires practice and proper technique to execute safely and effectively. Make sure you have a qualified coach to help you develop the strength, coordination, and technique necessary to execute a backwards roll properly.
