  • Great instructions. Thanks for the video. I'm looking forward to diving over tables and things for no reason, hahah! =D

    One question, though: I just started judo about a month ago, and the forward rolls there look basically the same, except most of the better people don't put their hands down, where here, you are. Could you explain the difference/reasoning behind this? Both rolls seem very graceful, dissipating the impact well, but the technique is slightly different...

  • its hurt in the shoulder

  • seems like a perfect T Bag

  • Is this similar to a pk (parkour) roll or is it the exact same thing?

  • @jrk987 exactly the same thing, i was going to say that im glad their not doing the gymnastics roll there.

  • Very good tutorial! Thank you!

  • when i practiced Jiu-jitsu, this was always my favorite exorcise.

  • @recurveninja I am immensely impressed. Especially after seeing his student(?) exercise this technique at just how silent and fluid Rick is. Great tutoiral at how to properly do this technique.

  • hehe its funny when he dives over the guy his balls rub the poor guys face hehehehehehe!!!

    i cant stop laughin!

  • that guy almost got a face full of balls!

  • wow. so ... silent!

  • i wish i could teabag my friends like that

  • very well broken down, thankyou

  • violentbuddha this is used for other reasons obviously this is actually a parkour move and the run ,hop,and dive part is important for newbies

  • "...ok lets not focus on the diving roll." Dickhead you wrote that in the title. i quit

  • 0:24 It looked like he put his dick in his face ROFL

  • Damn! The guy in black has lots of confidence!

  • If your shoulder (the front portion) goes straight into the ground, it can "break" your shoulder or your collarbone. Just be sure to practice your roll until you've got it perfect before doing the dive roll.

  • why, in the name of God, would you do this?

    but seriously, the forward roll portion of this is quite handy, especially if you are practicing getting thrown.

    But the run, hop, dive part is mostly for the birds.

    You cant learn to be a martial artist from youtube or a dvd. instruction with zero feedback/criticism is dangerous. in more ways than one.

  • i did that today friends were like fucking dumass then i jumped over this fat kid  landed it but hurted little and im only 12

  • when i do it i literally DIVE into the ground...with my hands in a diving form...

    funny thing is i cant even dive into water...lol

    but instead of my hands, i take the impact into my tailbone...or hip...so ill try this styl from now on...

    thanks for the video!

  • a... its not my vid.. lol

  • o.O oh yeah....i feel stupid now DX

  • great vid

  • he should learn to jump the guy standing straight, its not that hard.

  • wow sensei i can do dive roll but how did u jump over dat guy

  • Its called blocking. Its a technique that gymnasts use to convert forward momentum into upward momentum. If you watch the run up to the jump over you can see an initial forward jump where in he lands on the balls of his feet, then pushes up into the actual upward jump. The same technique is used in parkour to convert downward momentum into forward momentum. ^_^ I hope this helped.

  • a... bit confused here lol soo basically its like front flip is it?

  • basically, yeah, except you land on your arms and curl into a roll when you feel the ground.

  • OoO thanx great ill try :D

  • I hope it helps.

  • a... actually i can do the dive roll but i wanna learn jus how can u dive roll over a person? how did he jump dat high? btw my normal dive roll is perfect actually jus wanna knw how can i do it really high...

  • ^_^' actually, even I can do it that high, and I'm 220lbs. Its only about 4ft up since the guy he's jumping over is in a kiba dachi (Horse Riding Stance) Like I said in my first comment its all about blocking to get added upward momentum to allow you to get over the object, in this case a person. If you watch "Team Ukemi"s "Roll Tutorial" you can watch one of them jump about 6ft up into a roll.

  • great but wont u feel scared to do it on cement floor?

  • Nope. I do dive rolls on cement floors all the time. The first time its kinda scary, but if you have enough arm strength then you have nothing to be worried about.

  • im always worried gettin my shoulder broken scary... btw which bujinkan r u from?

  • Actually, the shoulder blade is a very strong bone, and really won't be taking a lot of impact if you use your arms right. Since you actually practice a partial art I assume your triceps are fairly well developed so you have nothing to worry about. As to what Bujikan, I don't practice that, or any, art. I'm just a martial arts enthusiast, that is a light practitioner of parkour. ^_^ Again, don't worry about your shoulder, just put your arms out and use them to absorb the shock.

  • but its scary :( dat day my fren just broke hes shoulder by doin dive roll soo i dont wanna endup like him... lol btw where did u learn parkour?

  • I'm an idiot, don't copy me. I learned from Youtube and personal experience. Either way, I don't see how you break your shoulder considering that its your arms that absorb the shock... Unless he dove straight into the ground shoulder first that shouldn't happen.

  • lol ur not... btw how old r u?

  • 19 why?

  • jus wonderin... btw whn did u started doin parkour and stuff?

  • About a year ago. Just started getting into free running recently. I tried something earlier today. It was a long dive roll. No mini trampoline or anything. I dive rolled OVER a mat, clearing it. About 3m (9ft). It was priceless seeing my friends faces when I did it xD

  • wow wish i could do dat :D btw can u make sme tutorial vids?

  • LE PARKOUR!

  • Rick is very physically talented. He has very good rolls and is good at explaining them. However if you try to copy the over the head dive roll that he does you are asking for a knee in the face. This is very dangerous (buts looks good). Have the student stand sideways and tuck his head for safety.

  • i like diving into pools to get my angles and distance improved without taking any risks

  • nice rolls. very well executed. Properly explained. =) so far this is the most accuate instructions given by this guy. Its not defense or offense. Just practical body movements.

    "This is a very practical thing to use if some one has a Bo-staff and is going to strike you can dive right over it."

    (What? are the shaolin monks of L.A. running a muck?)

  • ninjitsu isnt a style of fighting ninjas try to fight the least amount as possible so if your trying to get away from someone like most ninjas would this would be very useful

  • i think its more about avoiding fights to begin with than running away. if someone wanted to fight me and he wasnt mike tyson or something id probably pin him down until he calms down or something

  • And how the f*&# would this be helpful in a real fight? Ninjitsu is a joke!!

  • its more of an evasion than a fighting technique. if your surrounded then jumping or diving past/over one of your attackers is an advantage because you then have them all in front of you instead of being surrounded.

  • its a rick roll

  • Cool, i cam do them

  • thanks ive been really trying to find sumthing that would explain this in full detail but now i just have to try it lol:D

  • i'm having difficulty with this move, if possible coould u tell me how to do a normal front roll please

  • I didn't know this before. Thank you so much for teaching this great break fall technique. This is a very practical thing to use if some one has a Bo-staff and is going to strike you can dive right over it. and away from them. I can't believe you were able to jump over your partner. Thanks sensai Tew!!
