Forward Roll
Stage:
Beginner
Stage Characteristics:
A beginning move. Most kids do this before they even know what it's called. Rolling without tucking chin to the chest is a common mistake for beginning tumblers. The result of not tucking the chin is a hard slam of the back onto the mat. Rolling up to a sitting position or back onto the feet and into a standing position is sometimes a challenge for young beginners. Rolling up into a sitting position requires a strong core, rolling up and into a standing position requires leg strength.
What to Change: The only change I would make to this video would be to add slow motion and insert cues.
Cue:
Chin to your chest. Tuck and roll.
Analysis - HWS 320
