Amazing People - Mark Tozer

Okay, so what so amazing about me? Well, today is that special day in the year when I can celebrate all manner of things about my life. One being how I've managed to still be upright and breathing after all this time!

Not sure how much wisdom comes with age but I'm learning something new every day :0)

Learning to roll has many different dimensions. Not only in the style of roll we may learn but the personal benefits that can be gained from mastering a technique. I feel that learning to roll should be fun and create confidence in the performer. The topic of technique is often over debated, though I agree some methods are more appropriate than others. What is important is how the student discovers the principles of movement involved in bringing the boat into an upright postion. That is the movement of the body, the blade and the boat.
