Video Transcript

"I'm going to show you different rolling, tumbling, flipping techniques that we do at the Shaolin. Rolling enables us to reduce the chance of getting injured if we do fall down from a high building or a high wall. Flipping enables us to run faster. Just so, just say somebody's going to attack us, if we don't know how to defend, we can flip away, okay we could run away with our flipping in area and stuff like that. We could like get away from our enemies. Okay, one of the most basic skill that we learn in tumbling and flipping is the Front Roll. Front Roll basically will works our back to be stronger and give us the chance, the opportunity to roll faster, okay. So that's the Front Roll. Okay, second roll that we're going to do is the Shoulder Roll. Shoulder Roll is also known as the Side Roll. So basically similar to Front Roll, but the only difference is that we roll it our shoulders. So, yeah that's that. And the third one is the Back Roll. Basically, we roll backward. Later I'm going to get over to that Cartwheel, Butterfly and Air Wheel and Flips. Cartwheel is basically flipping upside down with both of your legs on the air. Okay. Butterfly Kick is turning your body on the air with two legs in a horse manner motion and an Air Wheel is a Cartwheel without hands. "
