Do momentary hand balance at center circle.- Snap down and back roll to stand at edge. BACKWARD ROLL TO HAND BALANCE
Fig. 38 START A BACKWARD ROLL AND STRAIGHTEN KNEES (a to c); KICK UP FORCIBLY JUST BEFORE YOU GET TO THE VERTICAL; COORDINATE THE HIP SNAP AND UPWARD ARM PUSH (d); KICK INTO AN ARCH IMMEDIATELY, SNAPPING HEAD BACK FAST (e); TO GET AN ARCH, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE HEAD BE SNAPPED THROUGH AS SOON AS IT CAN CLEAR THE MAT. HINTS TO BEGINNERS: It is possible to backward roll to a hand balance with an extension kick of the knees and hips. This variation, however, should not be used be- cause it is not as smooth as the hip snap and because it does not allow one to get a feeling of balance as the body goes up. It is too sudden. |
