DUCK HEAD, AND ROLL ON NECK AND SHOULDERS (c); KEEP CHIN ON CHEST, AND HEELS CLOSE TO BUTTOCKS (d); THROW HEAD WELL FORWARD TO COME UP TO STAND (•). DIVE HINTS TO BEGINNERS: The dive is merely a forward roll with an extended take-off, and should be learned as such. Gradually make your take-off longer and higher. Because of the excess momentum, there is no need for holding the shins to get a close tuck. In a dive for distance keep the head up as long as possible. When diving for height, jackknife the hips up high and keep the head down after height is reached. In all ground tumbling the feet should be about shoulder-width apart when on the mat, to give a solid base. |
