I want to animate a character doing a triple somersault.
I created a null, and parented all the 'controls' to that null (except the 'all controls')
When I move the 'root control', the null doesn't move with it which is the problem. I need the null to move with 'root control'. When I constraint it, the 'root control' stuffs up.
Can anyone help me with this? or is there a better rig for somersaults?

hard to understand from such poor and contradicting description what setup You have.
what is 'root control', what is 'all controls'.. all depends on rig You are using.
ellaborate at least if you want to have answers + post images of rig.. actually hard to speak about this kind of problem without touching rig itself.
Forget about my description.
How would you rig a character that will be doing a triple somersault without moving the 'controls' a dozen times?
Controls= Hands, elbows, foot, knees etc.
wisely aranged controls do not require "dozen times".
only thing that should be "strenghtened" is aimConstraints, to avoid flipping.
Okay..... thanks mate.
IK/FK blending is all that you need
Yes....... I've learned about this the other day. Thanks for responding.
