Frisbee and Flying Disc Body Rolls

Body rolls are a popular Frisbee freestyle technique that involves rolling the Frisbee across parts of the body.

In 1975 Ken Westerfield introduced the freestyle move called "body rolls"

(rolling the Frisbee between outstretched arms and across the chest or back), then introduced it at a national tournament in Rochester, NY called The AFDO (American Flying Disc Open). The hottest move of the day was called the "Canadian Mind Blower." Westerfield would roll the Frisbee across outstretched arms and chest, to outstretched arms across the back (front to back roll). Today body rolls are an integral part of every freestyle routine.

Freddie Haft introduced the nail delay at this same tournament. The Nail delay and Body rolls are two major innovations in disc freestyle. These innovations as well as other historical events are covered in several Wikipedia articles.

Are you allowed to hit the frisbee out of a players hand?

In official Ultimate Frisbee rules, players are not allowed to hit the frisbee out of an opponent's hand. Doing so is considered a foul, as it can lead to dangerous play and disrupt the spirit of the game. Players must use their body position and skill to intercept or defend against passes without physically striking the disc. Always check the specific rules of the league or tournament, as they may have variations.

What throw is a frisbee thrown facing the target from the side of the body?

The throw you're describing is called a "sidearm" or "forehand" throw. In this technique, the frisbee is held with the thumb on top and the index and middle fingers underneath, while the body faces sideways to the target. The throw is executed by snapping the wrist and rotating the arm, allowing for a quick release and spin on the disc. This throw is effective for achieving distance and accuracy when aiming at a target.
