The Back Roll in SAMBO Martial Arts

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Stephen Koepfer at New York Combat SAMBO in New York city, and today I'm going to be demonstrating beginning SAMBO. In this clip, we're going to demonstrate the basic back roll. This is very important encase you fall backwards and you need to protect your head and body. We'll start from a simple position standing neutral and we're going to sit on one leg keeping the other leg forward. We're going to tuck our head to our chin and roll over one shoulder tucking our head to the other side so we don't roll directly over our neck. We'll do it once slow. Sit down, roll over your shoulder and not over you head. Once again fast. Sitting on one leg, kicking the other leg up. Stand right back up."
