Hi all,
This question may have graced these forums already, but I realy need some ideas here.
How does one teach forward rolls (i.e. forward rolls as well as forward rolling brakfalls) to a beginner who is ABSOLUTELY terrified of going head over heels. I've considered investing in crash mats to give them a better sense of security, but I really believe the block is 99% psychological.
Also, one of the persons in question has a slight curvature of the spine which may add to the phobia of rolling.
Any pointers, thoughts, observations, wonder tonics or cure alls?
Hope someone can help.
