Hi, guys! Welcome back to this
Martial Arts Videoblog.
This is the second acrobatic tutorial.
Today we take a look at the Parkour Roll.
It's a 360° roll on the transversal axis
of our body. Let's see it in details.
Start in guard position. In this case,
with your right leg in front. Touch the
floor with your hands simultaneously
while you lean your left ear on your
left shoulder. Roll with your shoulders,
back and hips, in this order.
And stand up, flexing the left leg,
ending with the same guard position.
Now let's see a small
learning progression to
follow to better do this move.
We do the same movement, starting
from a crouched position, then
progressing to a standing position.
Just as you saw earlier in the clip.
In order to do this roll you must
remember 3 things: to lean the left
ear on the left shoulder.
To slide down your right arm
until your right shoulder
touches the ground and then
to raise your hips in order
to rotate on your back.
The final position is standing.
From this angle you can see that
the right hand is slightly
rotated towards the inside.
Left ear on left shoulder.
Right shoulder touches ground.
You raise your hips by pushing with your
right leg and swinging with your left.
And you end up standing, as usual.
Here is the second exercise: start
from a more upright position. Now start
pushing with the right leg and swinging
with the left already while your hands
are going towards the ground.
So those were the preparatory exercises
for this roll. Hope you liked them.
If there is something unclear in the
explanations, write it in the comments,
so that when I answer you, other people
that might have the same doubt can see it.
And for those who don't like my videos:
since I'm not a world champion gymnast
please, don't harass me. Just don't
watch them and we'll all live in peace.
This was the last tutorial for 2009.
Now I'll show you another tutorial
I'll publish in 2010.
See you then. Ciao!
