The Forward Sword Roll 

I wish I could train with him, as I suck at rolling and there's so much else I'd like to learn from him, but I neither got the time nor money.

Thanks

We did on a few of them. I intend to go back. And do so. Particularly fir the very material. Thanks for the suggestion.

Tony Hedgewolf thank you very much. I hope you enjoy the material.

same.

In stunt work if I was diving from very high platforms head first it was much more natural fo me to reach forward and screw with the hands like this. Also with finger and wrist lock throws . You can definitely sweep or do rolling takedowns from it

@@systemacanada nice. I'll try experimenting with it. Maybe I can grab their legs after the roll and get a point

This is for falls where the arm is already extended forward like off of an arm drag throw. The basic roll, crucifix roll, is exactly as you said, arms in a T position

@@systemacanada That makes sense. And it isn't called sword roll for nothing. Thank you for enlighting me. Cheers

I would strongly suggest basic spinal stability, beginning with neutral spine positions and mindful breath work then slowly towards movement on the three planes of motion . If you get a chance check out the trailers fir level 1 and 2 joint mobility to get some ideas

Absolutely. Conventionally a shashka

I'm just saying in case a viewer of blunt intellect wants to roll and happens to have a sharp two edged «battle ready vikin' sword» laying around. 😂

zahrim bizarre blunt intellect + sharp sword =Darwin award

@@systemacanada 😂😂😂

Prophet Lew ideally of course not. The Cossack arts simply perform a lot of natural acrobatics with their weaponry to build fitness, familiarity and increase adaptability. The likelihood either of us will find ourselves in a sword fight is a little low but the likelihood we can benefit from increased mobility and body awareness is high.

Youd be surprised how doing something weird or illogical can render your opponents frozen. I imagine this too as most people wouldn't know how to react immediately.

Comedy writers regularly roll with a schtick.
