Basic Jump Roll

1m 40s

Video Details

In the training session, various roll techniques have been introduced, such as crouch rolls and standing rolls, culminating in the more advanced jump roll. Although these exercises share similar movements, the jump roll requires increased height before transitioning into the roll. A vital aspect of the technique is ensuring a smooth landing that allows the body to drop directly into the roll without relying on muscular strength to absorb the impact.

Participants are encouraged to take their time, starting with small hops before executing the drop and roll movements. Consistency is key; performing the same techniques repeatedly helps improve comfort and proficiency over time. The training involves transitioning from softer surfaces like grass to harder ones, such as concrete, which may lead to minor injuries or bruises.

It is important to approach this training cautiously, as it can lead to discomfort or marks on the body; however, with regular practice, individuals will become more adept at these techniques. Overall, the training program emphasizes gradual progression and the necessity of repetition to build confidence in executing rolls effectively.

Key Points:

  1. The training involves progression from crouch and standing rolls to advanced jump rolls, focusing on landing techniques.
  2. Practicing small hops before moving into drop and roll movements helps build comfort and proficiency.
  3. Transitioning to harder surfaces requires care to avoid bruises, but consistent practice enhances skill and confidence.

The Lesson

Demonstrate a four-step (heel-to-toe) jump into basic parkour roll from a standing position on grass.

Start in a standing position, jump the four steps onto your feet like a broad jump and instead of stopping the momentum, you must immediately drop into the roll.

You must repeat three times over each shoulder.

Your head and knees must not come in contact with the ground and you must roll across one shoulder and the opposite hip.

You cannot perform a sideways roll or a gymnastics roll. This must be a diagonal roll across the back from the shoulder to the hip.

You should travel in a straight line and you must finish on your feet.

Basic steps:

  1. Place hands flat on the ground at 45 degrees to your body.
  2. Open your knees wide.
  3. Drop your forward shoulder onto the ground while extending your legs.
  4. Roll diagonally across the back coming up from the opposite hip.
  5. Place your feet under you, making sure you do not roll onto your knees.

we've done Crouch rolls we've done
7.52
standing roll next is to do a jump roll
11.4
it's all exactly the same it's all doing
13.88
the same movement but we're just
16.24
increasing the height that uh we have to
19.84
take to before we drop into the roll so
22.8
the thing to note here is when you land
25.599
you don't want to stop the landing you
28
don't want to use your quads and your
31.119
legs to slow you down you're trying to
34.76
learn how to drop straight into the roll
38.64
without having to take the impact on the
41.52
muscles okay so start off nice and slow
45.68
you're going to go drop and through okay
49.36
so with it's a little hop a little drop
52.399
and then roll uh the same way that we've
55.039
been doing okay and drop and out again
60.68
it's the same movement every single time
63.76
going to the same part every single
66.72
time when you have uh sort of
70.52
transitioned from grass onto
72.88
concrete I'm going to say right now you
75.68
will get bruises you'll get marks on
77.84
your shoulder you'll get marks on your
79.32
hip um this is
82.4
natural you you want to sort of not try
86.52
to do this training as often as possible
89.079
but yeah you you you the more you do it
91.88
the more comfortable you will be
