Practice sweeping vids 1 and 2 look similar but pay attention to the placement of the attackers feet. That is very critical so that one may practice with safety. https://www.cobaltstudiosllc.com https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/asaucier777 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=gene+saucier&crid=UVNAHPYS9SHZ&sprefix=gene+saucier%2Caps%2C111&ref=nb_sb_noss

What my self-defense physical fitness studio is about

When working with children who already go to gymnastic classes, use how they roll to begin rolling for self-defense. In self-defense, we roll over one shoulder diagonally across our back so that our spine is in contact with the ground as little as possible. That is not now gymnasts are trained but do not try to change that for children immediately because it will only confuse them. Just Roll with it 😊

The beginning of kick defense to take downs is a step by step process. Can it work? Yes and No. A fight is dynamic and sweeps are faster. However, learning how to maneuver one's body is also apart of Cobalt so we train with the principle in mind: "There are no advances techniques, only advanced body movements" meaning that as one grows there ability to control their body and fine tune their body's movements grows
