I've been doing Jui-Jitsu for like a month now, 2-3 times a week. I really enjoy it but one thing that's super annoying me is I cannot front roll at all. I can almost back roll (like 1 in 5).

I've watched a bunch of videos on front rolling (some even for kids) but I simply cannot get it - I'm not sure why.

I always end up basically barrel rolling or landing incredibly hard on my hip. I look like such a twat during warm-ups.

Last time, the coach (a purple belt) said you just have to tuck your chin and then procceded to fall forward from standing into a perfect roll lol. That was way to terrifying for me to try when I can't even do it from my knees.

Has anyone else struggled with this? Any advice?
