When I first learned how to roll, it was back in 1996, when I started my ninpo training. I was much younger then and nearly invincible. :) I injured my left hip back in 2017 and am now ready to start working on rolls again. It became clear to me that in order to avoid re-injury, and not reinforce any bad movement patterns, I have to start with the basics. What a lot of instructors don't realize is that the methodology is different when teaching an adult how to roll. Thanks for taking the time to break this down!
I'm returning to Bujinkan after a break of several years. In my previous dojo we trained on mats, and it's then easy to get away with bad technique. Now I train on concrete and getting the proper technique of rolls is important to avoid injury. Thanks for both demonstrating the rolls and for the high technical quality of the videos. Domo Arigato.
Easily the best instruction on rolling ever put to video. I'm just coming back to Bujinkan again after many years away and this step by step process is perfect for adults who need to ease back into it without injury. My first Dojo didn't even teach rolling as well or as progressive as this so my sincerest gratitude to Sensei for sharing this. A very big thank you.
This is a life changer!!! Thank you! I really wanted to practice ninjitsu so bad that I actually did it on a hard floor, which cause me a little bit of pain! But I never gave up, so thank you!!!
Thanks for this. I often find my head touching the mat when I do a backward-roll, so it's helpful to see it clearly explained and demonstrated here. Also, I've never had the front-roll explained to me the way you did it, threading the arm between the legs to get into the right position to go over the shoulder...I think that little detail will be very helpful.
i new in ninjutsu... my sensei tought me this rolling technique... rolling was the hardest part for me... this video help me to practice my rolling at home... hope that i can roll nicely... by the way... thanks for the video and tutorial...
thank you for breaking this down, I just started Bujinkan and the rolls overwhelm me! I wish I could roll as smoothly as you do, even if it is to take me 10 years.
I am just about to start training and I am 46, sadly :-) I love the vid, its very precise and you change angle so we can see them from all angles, Thank you.
First, I want to thank you sir. because I've been trying to learn basic rolling for nearly 2 years with no success, but this video gave me courage, and the technique to go with it... I have a question, though (This has been on my mind because its the common saying among practitioners and I wonder whether its right): Most practitioners say the correct form of rolling is along the spine (not the shoulder), but in this video, you emphasize that the roll must be performed along the shoulder. What I got from this was that its right to direct the movement a little to the side, instead of rolling directly along the spine. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong...
Many times, in the backward roll the problem comes from not exhaling and not getting enough momentum. And it always helps to start from fully sitted position.
I trained a lot as a kid got hurt a lot. I fell out of practice as an adult when I lost my health insurance. I've always had poor health training always really hurt but i had to have these skills because well people didn't like the fact my name was Cohen even though I was not raised Jewish and may or may not have Jewish blood. I changed my name to my step fathers German name they found other reasons to pick on me. As an adult i enjoyed many years of relative peace until my health rendered me disabled and homeless now I have to content with people trying to stalk rape and kill me .... for sport.... I have been trying to train on my own you videos gave me techniques that saved me and my friend from being beaten by multiple attackers. THANK YOU I executed a break fall and roll (though i failed he throw) that got me out of a head lock and sandwich punch to the temple. Though the fight ended up a draw its better that being dead. I'm now in trained with a instructor still cant do a break fall right in class ( I tense up) but I did it right in a fight where it mattered most. Why did i do it right on the street because I wasn't afraid of falling I was afraid of being punched in the head. My instructor is a relatively new instructor so I sometimes look to people with more experience to fill in the gaps the way you break it down really helps.
Bro, that's some amazing moves, in your every video, reminds me 1986 Tokyo Japan, love it, some of the Kathy's I was missing thanks and blessed as we say in Japanese Ho Hi Ho Gudamasta semasen.
AKBAN Hello Have you heard of Naruto shippuden I want to became a Shinobi Luke him plz help i am chubby no i am not but my tummy is chubby! how can I become more skinny???? help i want to because like him!!!! where can I go for training like that I really wish I could Surpass Ninjustu
Moderator here, thanks Nick. We are now stepping up our effort to document Bujinkan Ninjutsu. You can try to search google for: "AKBAN Ninjutsu portal" to get a better perspective.
These are actually aikido rolls but they can be perfectly trained as ninjutsu. These techniques offer the advantage that both head and neck are not exposed to a major risk of injury. They are safer and require shoulder strength and flexibility.
Hey! Soke Sensei Yossi-kun. Can you or do you have a video of drawing weapons while in the roll to conceal the weapon being primed for deploment. I am the guy in Kuntao and silat and used to do Danzan Jujitsu where the Gracies are monkeying around after there sale of Judo as BJJ. You have great stuff and your explanations are par excellent! Do you combine other strategies from other ideas aka Martial Styles? Kito Ryu, Daito Ryo, Silat, Kuntao, ...etc. Just trying to make it interesting as the same stuff is getting boring. Ukemi is Great and I can see the reason why you would not want to get up with swords and fists, Feet, and long weapons being above. I will search your channel as I know you probably did more than I could search your channel for. I hope that YouTub is still funding you and other creators? You do Martial Arts justice. Peace Favor Your Sword.
Thank you. I don’t have any videos on weapons and ukemi. That an interesting idea and maybe I’ll video it. You can see in the link I’ll append to my comment that we have too much material in Ninjutsu and documenting other references to martial arts is a lot of work. Practice safely, and keep on training. www.akban.org/wiki/Portal:_Ninjutsu
@@AkbanOrg GREAT! I have been doing front rolls and while in the front rolls I watch my opponent and draw my blades, pistol, or transition to a log/ long body roll to take out both the legs and grab one hand behind the ankle and elbow the knee and put my hand or feet or a combination of both behind each knee and roll back out the same way I rolled in to throw him forward into an opponent behind me. Either that or I just continue to roll after the elbow strike and a knee or kick to the head since his head usually drops after the elbow to the knee cap and IF necessary roll to his head to finish a dangerous encounter. I know you can not post that on RUclips anymore but...what can you post? Anyways, then I roll to cover. I love Ninjutsu but I incorporate less physical stuff because I am small and old. My Uncle was Brendan Lai who taught 7 Stars Praying Mantis, but also did the Kuntao stuff . I hated the foot work as it did not match the foot work of the Western Boxer and I tried to get my Uncle to adjust the darn Foot Work for things like knee on knee strikes like in Kuntao. Thanks Sensei!
I enjoy your technique it seems safer than the forearm roll and foot jump technique ;however, it seems you don't have a lot of speed using that technique... I guess that is why you call them basic rolls. The hands over forearm roll is pretty difficult to pull off as well. Avoidance techniques are always handy because someone can't hit what they can't catch...
my forward roll is comfortable, although I start from the ground. my back roll hurts the knee that hits the floor first. and the side roll? my god. it's horrible and scary
Can you do 18 level of ninjstu, I just Google it, why or why not, just the basic ,and put in in order of level for Advance Shinobi, for novice to learn , me I pick Ren ken to kai to zen
I have trained in ninjitsu for five years. I have gotten disceraged. I have found that it doesn't hold up to something like Brazilian jujitsu. or even some one that's a good boxer. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Laurencemathew Riggs i learn two types of kung fu thats not in my kung fu class my kung fu class was wushu class but i learned wing chun from master wong and animals from shaolin by howcast
If it hurts or you think your breaking something, your doing it wrong, Watch the Video again, It's a damn good video for simple rolls, As a great man once told me, "Have you ever seen a dog run down a hill and it trips up?" It simply turns it's head and rolls out and then keeps on running down the hill. It's a head thing more than anything, Once you relax and try it the more it makes sense. I'd say your trying to roll with your head not the back of your shoulder, It's a flow. I hope that helps.
The question was any Ninjutsu Schools in Germany and yes there are several authentic Bujinkan Schools that are certified from the main school in Japan. The Bujinkan is Japans oldest surviving school headed by Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi. Here is the link for you. bujinkan.eu/germany
Giving medical advice on youtube is not professional. I suggest you 1. Get a medical assessment about your knee from an Orthopedic Doctor 2. Train with an instructor knowledgable enough to adapt the training for you

Thanks for the good words, Timothy. That’s the standard procedure for teaching rolling in my dojo.
I am into Judo for 22years or so... Man you doing some real smooth movements there... So nice to watch.
thanks
This is a life changer!!! Thank you!
I really wanted to practice ninjitsu so bad that I actually did it on a hard floor, which cause me a little bit of pain! But I never gave up, so thank you!!!
Just started in ninjutsu training and I am a white belt. We are learning the forward and backward rolls. I like this video.

Rolls have saved me many times when i crashed in to things on my bike

I practice rolls every time I train, my Sensei drove into our head to practice basics basics basics allways
same here it feels to refresh from the basics!!!
Excellent vids sensei,there keeping me in shape and there helping me a lot in football
enjoyed this video very much, thanks. also, I've learned some of these rolls through Aikido.
Great video, very informative! This will help me a lot.
In RBWI we always used to keep our guard up in the last part of the roll.

Your teaching the forward roll
Has saved me twice so
Far when falling .Ari of don’t be a victim

JustDreamingLife omg rolls r in many martial arts not just in ninjutsu there r in wushu and many
JustDreamingLife others
JustDreamingLife ninjutsu is a hard martial art it can take ages to master its
@@tofushop8126 as someone who has been practicing for a year and a half, I can agree.

These days anyone can be a ninja. All they need is a camera & internet connection to youtube.
Exactly

Aikido comes from Ninjutsu
Allin Yapik- Aikido is only about a 90 years old
It’s not very important who was first
sensi it's a little difficult
when i roll i cant land on the correct side of my shoulder.
so an earthquake occurs 😢
i fear i will hurt my body
Aref V yep me too i fear that im gonna break my neck lol
great video
good teacher

hi! what do you recomend if I have my left knee whit a lesion? thanks
Awesome video but I have to ask.. Is this the same as the pk roll or safety roll? If then then it is VERY similar.
Been watching these vids all day. Where do you operate

These basics are not only simple, rolling and doing break-fall is essential.
Is Akban still part of the bujinkan? Why is akban more practical and the bujinkan put more emphasis on “feeling” than practical use?
my forward roll is comfortable, although I start from the ground. my back roll hurts the knee that hits the floor first. and the side roll? my god. it's horrible and scary
Very nice
what advice you have for a beginner in ninjutsu who learned some other style of martial arts before ? ( shutokan karate do in my case )
Finally, the dark souls tutorial
Now that I've finally mastered the ninja roll I'm going to be rich! Rich I tells ya! Rich!

Here’s the limit of what can be done through RUclips comments. Sorry 🤷🏼♂️
