Great post. I just referenced it on my blog The Martial Arts Coach. I was just going to teach the same thing at the Jujusu class I attend. This is the best way to prepare for doing rolls. Thanks for all the great information you provide.

Very well broken down. I am a 52 year young woman and within about a dozen attempts I was doing this roll from a squat position. What a thrill the first time I got through it and to my feet!

Thank you for taking the time to post this.

Cool stuff for all us “Joes”–when do we learn the preliminary to rolling over flipping cars–thanks

Wow that was a fun exercise. It was very easy to get down even though it is a lot different from the way I normally do rolls. Anyway I liked it, and it was a beautiful tutorial. I hope the next exercise will be a little bit more advanced?

I used to do that roll but also picking up a rugby(kind of NFL without the protective gear) ball as I rolled. I now understand why my shoulder would hurt after it. Though it might also have had something to do with about 5 opponents tackling me if I got the timing wrong! Great stuff.
