If you haven’t done so already, please read Rick Tew’s Intro to Martial Art Rolls and Falls by following the link below:
Martial Art Rolls and Falls
Reverse Roll
Designed for falling backward and/or broadening the distance between oneself and an attacker.
 Lift the lead leg forward and sit straight down onto the heel of your rear leg
Lower your head arching your back, eyes focused in front of you.
Allow the momentum of your body to carry you into the roll.
Keep the head to one side as both legs go over the opposite shoulder.
Keep the feet tucked during the roll coming up into a defensive position.
Applications:
 Trip on something going back
Pickup objects while rolling back
When being pushed back onto ground
Roll up onto objects such as a table
Distract opponent in eyes (Finger strike or thrown contents into face) - go into reverse roll at an angle forward to the rear of opponent for an attack.
