Ben Neal 2 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alessandro Mainente 10,539 Posted May 6, 2016 Firs think you need to achieve high quality round off is handstand. how is your handstand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Neal 2 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alessandro Mainente 10,539 Posted May 6, 2016 Personally no round off should be trained without a decent handstand. bad form will compromise technical execution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Sommer 11,183 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander Egebak 618 Posted May 7, 2016 To reiterate what people said here; a solid handstand and cartwheel are essential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Neal 2 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Sommer 11,183 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Birchall 121 Posted May 7, 2016 Lunge to lunge cartwheels before round offs. You asked for links: https://my.gymnasticbodies.com/movement-series/ http://www.drillsandskills.com/article/10 http://www.drillsandskills.com/skills/floor/z/bfa004 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
