Skill Session: Double Dodge – Split to Roll


The split-to-roll is a great double dodge for attacking a defender who reacts hard to your first move. Start with a strong split dodge and accelerate out of it, forcing the defender to react and turn their hips to run with you. Once the defender opens their hips and commits to your direction, use that momentum against them by planting and rolling back the opposite way. Protect your stick through the roll, accelerate out of the change of direction, and re-attack the space the defender just gave up.
