Can't think of any traditional Japanese arts that have such movements, but under Chinese there's Changquan Wushu...
In my humble opinion - showy, aerial moves don't fit into traditional Japanese culture very well.

Well, traditional capoeira (aka capoeira angola) never had any aerial movements either. Those movements were introduced in the 1940's in the capoeira regional style to make it fancier.
The only martial art that I think could have had close to those flips could be ninjitsu because they relied a lot in the agility. however, they might have been totally different to the capoeira ones.

none-Traditional Japanese martial arts were intended to be used while wearing armour. Karatedo is a modern martial art, so armour isn't a issue. However I can't think of a single style of karate that anyone Japanese would recognize as karate that incorporate anything aerial.

Dude ninjitsu is the best martial arts ever and if you want a northern one that has aerial moves try hapkido, jujitsu, and mantis.
