Berimbolo / Inverted Roll Drill (Drill)

Professor Frederico Silva teaches a drill that can be used to practice any technique in which one needs to go inverted, such as the berimbolo. The opponent is standing and Frederico has one knee in between the opponent’s legs and the other on the outside. He grips the ankle under his own leg. Frederico now starts to roll over his own shoulder and eventually to his back. He slides his outside leg in, and the other leg is now brought to the other side. Frederico finishes in the same position he starts in, but on the other side. He then goes back and forth.
