I recently started studying, and have been having some issues keeping my rolls tight. I come from an Aikido background, and was wondering if others have found the transition difficult?
On a side issue, two other students (3rd kyu and 4th kyu) are the only regular students. They have really tight rolls and look really great. I'm wondering a few things. how much practice does it take to really get them effective? I'm about a foot taller than everyone else in the class, can I realistically expect to get them as tight and small as others? I don't want to mimic them, but I want to know what my realistic aim should be.
I've enjoyed taking classes so far. So much to learn! I would appreciate your insight!
