The Forward/Backward Rolling Break-Fall
3 Part Drill — Paul instructs his beginners on the common mistakes and structural points of the frontward somersault and the back roll. These exercises are expected as a warm-ups down the length of the mat and are an integral part of learning safety during stand-up practice. Maintain a 45° armpit angle relative to the body when slapping the ground, keep your chin tucked to your chest, and splay your knees apart. Land along the longest line of your body from the lead pinky of your hand to your trailing leg's pinky-toe.
