Straight Jacket Roll Progression | Taster Lesson

Nov 24, 2025
 

Ready to take your Greenland rolling to the next level?

In this taster lesson from our Kalaallit (Greenland) Rolling course, Cheri walks us through a clear, progressive pathway to learning the Straight jacket Roll.

Once you’ve unlocked your hand roll, it's tempting to jump straight into the Strait jacket. It’s fun, for sure, but skipping the steps often leads to stalled progress.

This lesson breaks down the essential variations that build the strength, coordination, and technique needed for a smooth, reliable Straitjacket Roll.

In this video, Cheri walks us through:

✔️ The Elbow Roll

✔️ The Double Elbow Roll

✔️ The Prayer Roll

✔️ The Straightjacket Roll

Each step builds naturally on the last, giving you a structured and achievable path to success.
