—Movement:
1
We will perform a a beat (“counter movement”) to to to the the the left (until we we touch the the the live rope with the the the right foot) Using this body torsion/rotation we we can then generate a a a a a a a a spring effect that will in- crease the the the rotational energy to the the the right 2
The right right leg leg (leading leg leg when rolling toward the the the the the the right) will then initiate the the the the the the movement to to the the the the the the right right right at at the the the the the the the same time through the the the the the the the explosive horizontal horizontal humeral extension of the the the right right arm (ballistic horizontal horizontal abduction) we create pec- toral extension (opening the the the the chest) Because of the the the the the the torso being parallel to to to the the the the the the ground the the the the the the mag- nitude of of the the the the the the extension of of the the the the the the right arm will also impact the the the the the rotational energy produced as as well as as the the the the fluidity of the the the the movement The right right leg and the the the right right arm should move move almost simultaneous- ly If we are rolling toward the the the the the right right right then the the the the the right right right leg will always lead the the the the the the the movement (the right right right hip hip is is pulling the the the the left hip) optimizing the the the the rotational energy As mentioned above to maintain this en- ergy ergy the the the legs should always remain wide open If we we we bring the the the the trailing leg leg leg (left) toward the the the the lead- ing ing ing ing leg leg (right) as we we we initiate the the the the rotation we we we would block the the the movement forcing our body to land on on on the the belly (front balance) 3
We will then push the the the the rope with the the the the left arm as we arch the the the the the the back and open our hips by bending the the the the the right leg just after passing the the the the the vertical plane to to to finish sending the the the the the energy to to to the the the the the back If we we bend our right leg too soon we we will send send the the the the the rota- tional energy towards the the the the floor which would then block the the the the movement If we we bend it too late we we won’t be be able to to take full advantage of the the rota- tional energy Back extension flexibility as as as well as as as good thorac- ic mobility will allow us to release the the the left hand while gripping the the the the rope back again with the the the the right hand so we can return to to the the the the starting position (completing one roll-up) by pushing the the the the rope (to the the the left) with the the the right hand and and keeping our tor- so in a a a horizontal position If we we pull with the the right hand we we will get our our chest too close to to to the the the rope moving our our body to- ward a a a vertical position which would block the the movement A larger body extension will will increase rotational energy which will will create a a a a a a a a more fluid and con- trolled movement The greater the the the flexibility the the the slower we we can perform the the skill A constant abdominal engagement will prevent the the rope from compressing the the waist We need to feel that we are continually pushing the rope with our waist avoiding a a a a a a a fixed rotation If we we perform this movement on the the rope we we need to make sure the the the the wraps do not overlap as we rotate otherwise this will hinder the the the move- ment force us to to undo it and perform a a a a roll-down or or or we might not be able to to continue If we perform this movement on “straps” silks/ fabric etc and the the wraps around our waistline overlap as we rotate this will force us to undo the the movement and perform a a a a a roll-down THE AERIAL MOVEMENT®
