For youth or adults who are new to the art of ninjutsu and want to learn how to do forward, backward, sideways and ultimately dive rolls, we start them with this basic forward roll that we call "the ninja somersault." Watch Dai Shihan Mark Roemke explain this technique. If you would like to learn more about how we teach this skill plus the forward diagonal roll and backwards roll to youth, check out our Ninja Rolls Lesson plan at https://www.ninjasinnature.com/product/ninja-rolls-lesson-plan/
