Rolls should NEVER EVER EVER hurt. Ask any one who has been doing it for more then a year!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please M2 or one of the Tribe back me up on this.
I listened to Idiots like the ones on here and now I have permanent damage!!!
Don't listen to them. Rolls are an art and should NEVER hurt.
I think what he is trying to say is there should never be bruises or long term injuries/pain after rolling, there will always be light pain from rocks or sticks etc...

I'm having a strange issue with my rolls. When I first started doing my rolls, there was little to no pain and I went through the motions fairly smoothly. But lately, I've been practicing on grass and I've been coming down on weird areas of my back.
I'm left-handed, so I mainly lead off of my left side, and I've been trying to narrow the issue down as the area of pain seems to be mainly in my lower left back. I think I might not be tucking in tight enough, or my rolling style isn't quite right for my body type, but I think I'm overshooting my shoulder entirely, because I keep feeling the impact on my lower back, almost like I landed from a fall straight on my ass and missed the soft part.
I usually push off with my back leg to simulate momentum and throw myself into the roll, but I'm pretty sure I'm not angling my body enough because all the impact seems to going into my left side, either on the shoulder or the lower back. What's weird is that everytime I try to change the angle of the roll to a more diagonal slant, I still end up hitting my left side. Any tips on cleaning this up?

Alright, first post.  Just recently started Parkour (literally like 4 days ago), and after watching Ozzi's tutorial I feel my rolls are a lot smoother. One thing, though. Since I've started practicing them, my glutius medius muscles (the ones above your butt where your body starts to curve to your sides) have gotten pretty sore. I've had a sore lower the past week or so, even before I was practicing, and was wondering if that could be having some weird effect on the rest of my roll. Should I wait till the soreness is gone before I practice any more? |

Hello everyone! I've just recently started Parkour as well, always been interested in it and decided that rolls would be a good place to start. I've looked up some info on them from different sites, and saw a few tutorials - Ozzi's definitely takes the cake though, haha. I've been practicing them on carpet every night for 30 minutes, 15 for each shoulder. Hammering out my form and doing rolls over and over and over has given me quite a few bruises on my back - is this a good way to train? Should I take a break for a few days to let my sores die down? There's no major pain or anything, just light bruises, and my muscles are usually a little sore. Thanks in advance for any help!

Practice rolling just to the right or left of your spine staying on muscle rather than bone. Only practice a few rolls a day, then move onto something else, if it is painful or "sore" in your lowerback, definately work on something else. Practicing pain is not useful.

It's not really my lower back, just my shoulders and hips from times when I rolled wrong.  Also, should I be training on only one shoulder? I figured it'd be best to be good with both, to be more flexible. |

I think it was my sore lower back being referred to, to clear up confusion. Thanks for confirmation, though. I definitely felt like I shouldn't be practicing with it hurting, but I wanted to practice anyway  I guess I'll just do conditioning and stuff until it feels better. |
