Learn the movements. Practice on soft ground first, such as a mattress or grass.
To start (basic roll): Bend down.Roll in Parkour_Free Running Step 2Bullet1.jpg Put your hand on the ground, a little to the opposite side you are rolling.Roll in Parkour_Free Running Step 2Bullet2.jpg Now, tuck your head to the opposite side and push forward rolling on your shoulder, diagonally across your back (left shoulder to lower-right back or right shoulder to lower-left back).Roll in Parkour_Free Running Step 2Bullet3.jpg Try to curl into a ball while rolling.Roll in Parkour_Free Running Step 2Bullet4.jpg After that, put your knee on the ground or stand up directly with two feet.Roll in Parkour_Free Running Step 2Bullet5.jpg
When you feel like you learned it, find a jump. Again, begin with a soft surface.
Start small, don't go crazy and want to jump off of something that's ten feet tall. Try with something about three feet tall. Make sure that you can launch yourself off of it though; it's safer to try small, but going fast will apply what you'll feel from a higher fall.
Jump up and forwards, bringing your knees to your chest and your hands up. After you jump, make sure to plot out your landing.
Beginning your roll. Once the balls of your feet hit the ground, bend your knees (not more than about 90 degrees), crouch and lean forward as quick as possible . Make sure to push off of your feet to propel yourself forward.
You are now starting the roll: don't back out now, you might hurt yourself. Be careful not to land on your neck, or mid back, as you might get hurt. Perform the movements explained above; curl your shoulder and land on it, but be sure to roll diagonally.
