Drills for round off

[Ben Neal 2]

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

Firs think you need to achieve high quality round off is handstand. how is your handstand?

[Ben Neal 2]

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

Personally no round off should be trained without a decent handstand. bad form will compromise technical execution.

As the roundoff is a advanced cartwheel variation, basic cartwheels must also be mastered before focused roundoff training can be effective.

To reiterate what people said here; a solid handstand and cartwheel are essential.

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?

[Coach Sommer 11,183]

The handstand work can and should run simultaneously with the tumbling.

First master basic rolls.

Second master basic cartwheel variations.

Third master roundoff.

Lunge to lunge cartwheels before round offs.
