[QUOTE="Mustafar Reginald, post: 17223, member: 113"] Because he sucks. Like he outright tells Tien he didn't sign up for the 23rd Budokai Tenkaichi because he doesn't think he can keep up with them anymore. I'm fuzzy on the details, if they were every even discussed but I don't think Roshi was all that active pre-Goku. He wasn't really taking on any students or anything, and I think it was years since he won the Martial Arts Tournament. And during the 22nd Tournament, he forfeited the match to Tien and admitted Tien would've won if they continued, so by the time Goku learned flight, Roshi had already accepted that he's been surpassed. There was never any reason for him to learn when so many characters at the point had already surpassed him. Unlike Yamcha who's an idiot and thought he could stand up to the Androids, Roshi knew when it was time to step back from the fight. It seems he'll be a regular combatant in the manga again if the Tournament of Power and Moro arc are anything to go by, and if so, if he doesn't learn it he's an idiot. [/QUOTE]
