Forward Rolls
Forward rolls are performed by initially standing, then crouching down, making a small step with one foot, and putting the opposite hand between your legs near that foot, leaning forward and rolling forward over the same-side shoulder as the hand that you put on the mat.
Backward Rolls
Backward rolls start with a typical breakfall motion, where you bend your knees to "sit down" into open space, then when your rear touches the mat, roll onto your back and slap the mat with both hands and your arms at a 45-degree angle at the same time that your upper back touches the mat. Immediately following this motion, use your arms to continue pushing into the mat and extend your legs up over your head in the same direction that you were originally falling, using your momentum to roll you completely over.
- 1. Start lying down with your back on the mat, then turn onto your side and push against the mat with your foot that is on the side of your body that is in the air (not the side on the mat) so that your but moves backward along the mat.
- Your weight should rest on the foot you're pushing with, and your opposite shoulder (the one on the mat) and NOT on your hips as the point of the movement is to move your hips backward.
- 2. At the same time, push the air with both hands as if you are defending an advancing opponent. Then, flip to your other side and repeat the process.
- Since you are moving your body with only your leg, you will tend to "curl" like a shrimp where your head will remain relatively static as your hips move backward to be in line with your head (ending with your body in almost an "L" shape)
To pull guard, start with both you and your partner in the standing position. With one hand, control your partners same-side sleeve, and cross-collar control with your other hand (so you control the sleeve and collar on the same side of your partner). Then perform the following:
- 1. Snap your partner toward the mat by bending your knees and pulling both arms toward the mat. Maintain control and move around your partner toward the same side where you are controlling their sleeve.
- 2. Once you are slightly to that side of your partner, and your partner begins to stand back upright, place your foot (the one nearest to the same side that you are controlling your partner's sleeve) onto your partners hip, and sit down on the mat, turning your body to ensure remain facing them.
- 3. Pull your partner on top of you, lowering yourself to your back and sliding your foot off of their hip. Then trap your partner's body between your legs, and close your guard.
