Instructions

  1. 1Start seated or turtled with weight loaded on one shoulder.
  2. 2Kick the far leg up and over, rolling across the shoulder and rotating the hips through.
  3. 3Land facing back toward your original direction, ready to frame or attack a leg.
  4. 4Alternate directions to build the roll evenly on both sides.

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.
