The Undercut: Closed-chain Sequences 1
Floor-contact sequences & improvisation contexts
•
3m 1s
THE WHAT:
The ‘Undercut’ transition allows for the transitioning of the body from an “over-floor”, quadrupedal position (on the hands & feet), to entering the floor into full contact. In all of these sequences, the rotational ‘Role’ is the quadrupedal pattern of choice with which to begin, tying directly into a variation for transitioning the body from prone through to supine (‘Table-switch’ or ‘High-bridge rotation’) before leading directly into the ‘undercut’ & floor-entrance. The combination of these patterns is deliberate, with the body essentially going through TWO lateral rolls, each at a different level in space (quadrupedal-level, and floor-contact level).

THE WHAT:
A quadrupedal-to-floor-entrance-&-back-again locomotion sequence. It brings together the 'half-Role to Scorpion-tail' integration leading directly into the 'Undercut' transition to enter the floor, then exiting through the 'Box-turn' pattern leading seamlessly into the fundamental 'Role... -
'Driving' the lateral floor-roll
THE WHAT:
Putting the many pieces of fewer concepts together in a single context – the ‘driving’ of the lateral floor-roll (in ALL its variations) is a simple context which requires both familiarity & proficiency not only with the rolls in themselves, but with the TRANSITIONS (i.e. ‘Pendulum’ and... -
Floor-contact improvisation 1
THE WHAT:
This resource demonstrated the improvised context of exploring floor-entrance & exit patterns (FEN/FEX), lateral-rolling variations, and ‘neck circles’, leading to the ‘Pendulum roll’ and ‘Shoulder-Role’ patterns. These are considered ‘fundamental’ aspects in that, together, they provid...
