!! Technique Tuesday !!

With today's Technique, we will be taking a step back, and remembering how we fall safely. Breakfalls (Ukemi)

There are several breakfalls (backwards, sideward, forward, and rolling). All share a few key points:

1, While practising lower yourself into the breakfall (no jumping into them to start with)
2, Protect your head, In most breakfalls your head should never touch the ground, keep your chin tucked in.
3, Round your back, a straight back will result in a harder fall
