But-Roll Tutorial

Today we are going over the But-Roll. This roll is best used in awkward situations where a normal roll technique just does not make sense or you just do not have the right body position to enter a traditional roll technique. Additionally, this technique is great for flat raised surfaces that may impede your path during a falling scenario. As long as you can make it to your hip safely, this roll is always a viable option to have in your bag of falling options.

Need a mat?

I recommend learning these techniques either on a soft surface such as grass, or using a mat for safety. A few basic 2in mats I would recommend are the We Sell Mats 4ft x 6ft x 2in, We Sell Mats 4ft x 8ft x 2in, and We Sell Mats 4ft x 10ft x 2in. If you need a thicker mat for safety or comfort I recommend the Tumbl Trak 4ft x 8ft x 4in or the We Sell Mats 4ft x 8ft x 4in.
