Kayak Bracing Strokes- Ej's Rolling and Bracing

The brace makes rolling less frequent. A great brace makes it almost go away if you are not playing a lot or running really big whitewater. Here are the basics, run in fast pace. Lots of nuances not discussed, but this will get you going!

I can't thank you enough for the videos! I have a solid combat roll because of what you taught me through your previous rolling and bracing videos. In fact, I dialed in my bombproof combat roll before I realized the importance of bracing. That's kind of like learning my multiplication tables without learning basic math first. While I was learning to roll, I learned to brace, but I didn't make bracing my first reaction when things got squirrelly. I would just go under, roll up, and skip the brace altogether. I've had to really work on retraining my initial reaction and put my brace "top of mind" as you say.

Hey EJ, been an admirer of you for years. But I often wonder, why nearly nobody talks about body mechanics in kayaking? Is it because they only know the technique but not the anatomical application? If paddlers understand the Anatomy of kayaking. It would make a huge difference in their learning curve. Been working for me for decades. And is how I teach it.
