Advanced Rolling
Does your roll work on moving water? If your answer is sometimes then this is the course for you as it deals with the reasoning behind why rolls do and don't work in this environment. This is a two-unit (both taken on the same day) session with unit one taking place on the river and unit two taking place in a pool. After this course you will have a greater understanding of your rolling barriers and how to overcome them.
