Hi John,
Welcome, and thanks for joining our group. I guess you've seen the Solo
Training Tips sticky on the RussianMartialArt.com forum. I usually
practice falling and rolling when I'm training by myself. Today in
class we practice rolling over wooden benches and boxes, changing
direction as we rolled over the objects to maneuver over onto our
stomachs. My teacher told us we could practice rolling over different
kinds of objects at home, changing position and ending up on the
stomach, to protect the spine from sharp objects. In the past, he also
suggested using a rolling office chair as a solo practice partner, by
using the feet to lightly change its direction while keeping it within
your control.
Maybe someone else has some solo drills to share. Meanwhile, good luck
with your training and I hope you find some like-minded people with
whom to practice.
Once again, *dobro pozhalavot* (welcome!) and *Vsego nailuchshego*
(best wishes),
Rachel
