Role to back-switch
Integrated ground-acro & FA

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.

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... -
Standing to 'Back-switch' transitions
THE WHAT & HOW:
‘Back Switch’ is a ground acrobatic transition within the bilateral reverse-hinge family, defined by a lateral switching action from one side of the body to the other while passing through a foot-grounded reverse-hinge position. It is also featured within the world of 'Groundwork'... -
'AU back-step' to 'Back-switch'
THE WHAT:
An integrated transition & 'ground-work' pattern incorporating the fundamental 'AU cortado' with a 'back-step' variation and the basic 'Back-switch' to a 'Role' exit. The concept most significantly at play here is an emphasised COUNTER-ROTATION/TORSION between the torso and pelvis (or, ...
