THE ROLL PROGRESSION : Page 24
roll is used instead of the forward roll, because it is safer and more natural.
SHOULDER ROLL
HINTS TO BEGINNERS: Do the stunt in slow motion at first. Start as for a forward roll but turn head to the side and shoulder under to land on mat. Some beginners
learn faster by landing on the back of the hand. They feel that this makes it easier to turn the elbow in and protect it.
VARIATIONS
Repeat shoulder roll on the otherside.
Try right and left shoulder rolls alternately in a series.
Try alternate forward and shoulderrolls in a series.
Trip yourself into a shoulder roll.
Pretend that you are carrying a football, and do a shoulder roll.
