Ben Neal Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Hi Can anyone give me or provide links for drill to improve round off. I'm really frustrated by the time its taking me to improve I am working F1 and mobility for shoulders and pan cake There are many things I know are poor - crossing my foot over the line, hand position, shoulders not open properly, short lunge, but I am persevering at my weekly class What I really want is some stuff I can do at home Many Thanks Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Firs think you need to achieve high quality round off is handstand. how is your handstand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Neal Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Not great to be honest. I am working hollow body and shoulder mobility and doing some handstand against wall trying to get a better line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Personally no round off should be trained without a decent handstand. bad form will compromise technical execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 As the roundoff is a advanced cartwheel variation, basic cartwheels must also be mastered before focused roundoff training can be effective. Yours in Fitness, Coach Sommer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Egebak Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 To reiterate what people said here; a solid handstand and cartwheel are essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Neal Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Thanks for the replies. So is the recommended action to start a dedicated handstand practice running in parallel? I have H1 but it's slow going and I don't want to stop my classes. Will the handstand stuff just gradually improve the tumbling stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 The handstand work can and should run simultaneously with the tumbling. First master basic rolls. Second master basic cartwheel variations. Third master roundoff. Yours in Fitness, Coach Sommer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Birchall Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Lunge to lunge cartwheels before round offs.
