My BJJ instructor uses rolls as a warm up and never take any time to explain it to new members... So, as a brand new white belt, THANK YOU so much for this drill !!

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks! You can do it, just start with the first variation 👍 - Patrick

[@Iron-Bridge]

Perfect. I was looking for this to improve my wrestling / bjj. 👍 On another note, always wondered how Steven Seagal survived by not doing any of this 😂😂.

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Glad you found us!

[@IfyouBelleve]

Is it normal for your right shoulder to be sore afterwards. How do we not injure our shoulders

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Yes, it is normal, especially if there is some impact. I would suggest focusin on smooth rocking before attempting to roll, and then focusing on a smooth transition to the ground. Hope this helps!

UFC

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Indeed.

[@Beast_editz-yk8qq]

I get red marks when rocking

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Maybe try getting a thicker mat, or it should pass with time as your body gets used to it.

[@pascal0868]

A lost cause for me. My vertigo and dizziness issues killed my career in grappling. Pity. If taken to the ground I’m toast.
