Shoulder Roll



Used to evade, deflect or block punches by rolling your shoulder and leaning back. To execute, raise your lead shoulder (your chin tucked down behind it) up and rotate it inward while leaning back to move your head out of range. Your lead shoulder should be higher than your rear. Depending on the situation, the shoulder roll is used in one of three ways: 1) It is an evasion similar to a snap back. 2)The shoulder is used to parry the punch to the side. 3) The punch is taken on the shoulder as you roll away from it.
