Treebranch Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 I'm sure some Ninjutsu practioners flip, but I've only seen a few. Rolling and leaping is more important for Ukemi than flipping is.

Kung-Fu Hippy Posted December 21, 2003 Posted December 21, 2003 Wushu is a good bet. Not sure if there are many "flipping" martial arts.
Practice is the key _ Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I found flip might be spectacular but most flippers cannot do the splits so i teach them and they teach me heheheheheh. Somone love oneSomone love twoI love one That one is myself just have been turn down....
aefibird Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 In Aikido we flip to get out of certain techniques. We practice by holding onto our sensei's outstreched belt (whilst it's still tied around his waist!) with one hand and flipping over that hand and landing on the mat. You have to keep hold of the belt all the time or it doesn't work so well. Also it simulates someone grabbing hold of you and you flipping out of the technique. We mostly use throws and rolls, but flips are useful too. Plus, if you can do it properly, it looks cool!! "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."
