Role to back-switch
Groundwork: fundamental integrations
•
1m 2s
THE WHAT & HOW:
An integrated transition & groundwork pattern between the fundamental 'Role' & 'Back-switch' variations. Whilst the 'back-switch' continues to serve its function as a simple way to transition from one upper-body support to the other (i.e. arm-to-arm), connecting it with the 'Role' now highlights its function in expressing a dynamic transition between a prone, semi-quadrupedal form (Role), through supine (belly-up) and back again.
Further, its innately ROTATIONAL movement direction (in the same sense that a 'lateral roll' is rotational in the HORIZONTAL plane) connects perfectly with the rotation of the Role in the VERTICAL plane, marrying them together in complementary sequence.

'Role' to front-side (FS) 'Corta-capim'
THE WHAT:
A fundamental integration between the rotational 'groundwork' locomotion form 'Role', and the rotational, low-gait transition 'Corta-capim'. As always with the 'CC', a main point of focus is ensuring that the swinging leg is kept as STRAIGHT and EXTENDED as possible, ALL the way around ... -

THE WHAT:
A most fundamental integration between the 'Role' and the ‘High/Low-bridge rotation’ (H/LBR) progressions which serve both for ongoing capacity-development and conditioning, further to deepening understanding of these foundational ‘Groundwork’ forms.The main learning objective is awar...

THE WHAT:
As an ultimately dynamic movement travelling through inversion, with practice the 'AU cortado' (or, "short cartwheel") can be used to with efficiency for travel through space. It can also link seamlessly with other 'cartwheel' forms, such as the fundamental 'Travelling cartwheel' or 'St...
