Instructions
- 1Start seated or turtled with weight loaded on one shoulder.
- 2Kick the far leg up and over, rolling across the shoulder and rotating the hips through.
- 3Land facing back toward your original direction, ready to frame or attack a leg.

What to focus on
Loading the shoulder fully before kicking through, not rushing the kick.
Common mistake
Kicking before the shoulder is loaded, causing a flat, uncontrolled roll.
