Ninja Gear

If you think to jump from tall heights like a ninja you should first learn how to roll. This takes some practice but it is important to learn it properly so you don’t get injured. Rolling transfers the momentum from jumps and minimize impact of the landing. Parkour practitioners know this and they took the technique from Martial Arts, such as Ninjutsu, Aikido, Jujutsu and Hapkido (Korean martial art).

So when you jump and roll, keep in mind the following tips to prevent a painful landing:

- try to put your body low to the ground in a horizontal position. When you land vertically gravity has the biggest impact. If you keep your body horizontal to the ground you disperse the force wider

- let your momentum takes you into a roll. Reach out for the ground with your hands and start to roll diagonally over your shoulder as tight as possible.

- avoid rolling directly over your neck because you could get injured.

Now let’s see how Choson Ninja flies over a car and rolls:

It looks so easy when he does it.

If you are jumping from a tree or some other high object and you land on your feet remember this:

- reach the ground with the balls of your feet
- bend you knees to absorb the initial impact
- rotate your body-weight forward and move into a roll as described above

Have fun with rolling and take care!
