[@oliviatorres-fields9495]

Thank you so much for making this video. My first time being taught this roll and I my neck hurts so much, after seeing this I can definitely​ see where I went wrong. Thanks again!

[@aedandilley4027]

I agree - Stephan is such a great instructor.

[@ericplumain443]

thank you, in the name of safety

[@johnwatson6541]

He is the greatest JiuJitsu instructor on RUclips

[@dkompolt1234]

Can you show the shoulder rolls from a standing entry? Like a similar video but starting from standing?

[@RamanKaur-bo9fy]

Thank you so much sir for this video..i hurt my shoulder when i tried to do this roll..thnx for clarifying the mistakes
!!!!

[@ameranadianveteran860]

Videos are always helpful and you get the award for best gi's. Very cool.

[@lucasfier146]

Thank you for explaining the difference and why this is better, than the gymnastics roll.

[@statmandemps1154]

Great tips, but where did you get that batman gi? It's sick!

[@warpigroadkill]

I've got a Dark Knights one, that you can get from Submission Sniper. Very good quality Gi as well. :)

[@Stewcrew8]

awesome info sir, that was the first thing we taught, children and adults... wow good info

[@pascal0868]

I’m screwed. I suffer from dizziness since young age whenever I spin around or roll like this. I just started BJJ few weeks ago. It took just one of these rolls to mess me up for two days. Damn!

[@dersatansschuh4426]

Pascal 0 same thing for me. How did it play out for you?

[@drutgat2]

I am similar. For me, it is vertigo (or menier's disease).

[@drutgat2]

@@dersatansschuh4426 What happened for you, Mike? Were you able to continue training?

[@rubysaif518]

Honestly u shouldn’t worry. when rolling u don’t have to do a front roll or a back roll it’s just taught Incase u wanted to do it.

[@baloosd]

I suffered with that for more than a decade, couldn't tumble or even do flat bench press. Finally figured out that it was the soy in my protein powder (the only source of soy in my diet). Cut out the protein powder (soy) and the vertigo disappeared. I started jiu-jitsu the next week!

[@Yupppi]

Funnily enough the second mistake is actually a method for one japanese judoka (or probably more likely a school) to get into osaekomi from prying open a turtle. There's always someone doing the exceptions. If you can consider that back roll exception at all. When you said backwards somersault was maybe a thing as a kid, I realized at my early 20's I could still do it without much consideration, but just last week my back roll turned into that and it felt like smashing your back of the head on the wall. Lesson learned, you're an old man now.

[@Vagrant860]

I busted my neck practicing the rolls I don't think I can do it again it hurts too much. Great video though Stephen keep it up.

[@ericstenner9237]

Great advice! My recommendation to those still having trouble with this is to try to round out your body until the roll is completely done. Staying circular really helps make it a lot more fluid. Also, try to relax and don't tense up when you're practicing.

[@r1v3rw0lf]

Big problem with momentum over technique... Once you are gone, if you weren't well placed, you will roll over your neck... Rookie mistake I made yesterday !! Not fun at all and am glad I am still "flexible", didn't hurt myself too bad there but scared the s*** out of me, hearing all those cracks. :/
Thank you very much for this video ! Our teacher went very fast over the rolls and I needed to hear the "make it slow and technical" version ! :P

[@farfarawaybam4999]

Thanks for showing me how I can correct my mistake 👍🏻🙏🏻

[@Sheeeeshack]

Thank you. So instructive

[@yump]

Awesome, gotta practice #3 more but I got the first 2 already..

[@StephanKesting]

Slooowwwww mottttioonnn and easy does it

[@ryanhill9707]

Thank you, Stephan. I really needed this.

[@Applecri]

Trying to do them slowly but my legs just won't go back! What can I do to help?

[@nanolego1359]

Thank you sooooooo much

[@jayamustika5938]

Thank u so much, i just got a vid tutorial from the dude that tell me to the straight backroll, now i know it's dangerous

[@TheCrushmaster]

Great video, proper falling is such an underrated skill. You're more likely to fall that you are to need to beat the crap out of someone in self-defense. :-)

[@StephanKesting]

Agreed! It's a basic human skill

[@oneofthosecrazygirls2423]

Hey, thank you so much! I'm actually a volleyball player that is having problem getting up quickly during the games, but everytime I tried doing a backroll I would hurt my neck, this helped me so much!

[@HealthyMBS1]

Always a great video! When you tilt your head to one side, should the opposite side arm be out straight to the side or does it matter? I just notice a lot on the back roll that people often stick that arm out straight

[@johndennis3181]

Thank you sir,

[@hannab3596]

I can finally do it now!!! Yaaaay thank you so much!!!

[@michaelw7867]

Great explanation, thanks!

[@castielangelofthelord1992]

Had an accident today. I grabbed a guillotine from kinda standing, and then starting to sit down into guard, but my spazzy white belt opponent rolled forward, and I rolled straight back over my neck and heard crack, crack, crack. I ended up in mount with the guillotine, but I am so annoyed that I didn't tuck and move my head to the side because I was so supprised and it happened so fast, and now my neck and back hurt.

[@smallworld707]

Banging! Thanks Sensei!

[@tobyswope6875]

Thank you!

[@drutgat2]

Many thanks. That was great.

[@chtopteam]

Thanks for this video!

[@dan020350]

so i was doing it right, but it needs flexibility to do overtop of head -.-

[@Dreamlink91]

I do the same but it aint working 😄 idk, i always land on my hand on the side

[@awmartian424]

Ty

[@prettyprecy6331]

Im screwed w/o momentum, niw i know there's something wrong

[@ShahidKhan-ok2uk]

Can u show Hadaka jime
Plsssssssssssssssssss

[@MrGuitarman8000]

Thank you I need help

[@kailykhoikhoi7249]

i love your accent

[@JMLockpicking]

Nice vid... What's wrong with going off center line when going backwards?

[@Rickiebobby1st]

jmmurdy You want to control where you're going while shoulder roll.

[@adelhot100]

thank you master i like you son much

[@maomaoliang]

Rolled over my head and sprain my neck and back don’t be me guys

[@EmoPeter2000]

Too late

[@ryantate6447]

What happend long term, I did the exact thing. Now I'm worried

[@biohazard724]

So flop backward as hard as I can while stiffening my neck? Got it!

[@JayFe0]

It's all in the spine. You have to twist it in a jerking motion as you roll.

[@scott-ry4cj]

I do these in dance...

[@jwillette1413]

sashii stans beetlejuice Same here came here to figure it out

[@orange42]

Doing this makes me dizzy.

[@StephanKesting]

Does it take just one rep to make you dizzy or does it take several?

[@yusuf6395]

Stephan Kesting one rep

[@chrismora6459]

first

[@StephanKesting]

Thx!

[@chrismora6459]
