[@grappler240]

I've been teaching these since 1995. And I just learned a few tips. SO well done. Cheers!

[@BeyondGrappling]

Glad I Could help

[@johnyhawkahsan]

What an amazing introduction to falling. I really liked when you said don't put your arm before because it's a risk that you break your arm. Also, loved the explanation on how to get low before falling instead of falling from all the way from top.

[@BeyondGrappling]

Glad you liked it!

[@ygorsiqueira1028]

Dislocated my arm bad like that lmao never again

[@SamUrai-gl1cy]

Of all the breakfall tutorials i find this one addresses my concerns the most therefore making this video the most helpful. Thank you very much Sensei Osss

[@BeyondGrappling]

+SamUrai glad it could help

[@TheStranger255]

I like the demonstration, detailed and clear. Thank You!

Thank you so much Iam starting judo at 42 and reviewing these videos after class help.

[@BeyondGrappling]

So glad these are useful. God luck

[@torresi88]

I ended up here looking for how to fall from a MTB. Thank you KZbin.

[@muggoganerva251]

One good way to practice the Yoko Ukemi, is by doing Okuri ashi barai by yourself.

[@sankari6114]

[@josiahbholahillaire3574]

I really need to relearn judo from scratch. I used to practice judo for a year, but it’s been so long, I need to relearn how to fall again.

[@BeyondGrappling]

Hope this video can help you with that

[@josiahbholahillaire3574]

Gonna take a while for me to get back to the groove of things, but this video is great @@BeyondGrappling

[@sarahj5585]

A Reddit thread about saving your own life brought me here. Cool techniques!

[@DMKleinArts]

Sarah J a well practiced breakfall really is one of the most important things you could get out of any martial art! In and out of combat, having good footwork and clean falls will prevent so many injuries.

[@thanhvinhnguyento7069]

Yup, came from longboard thread

[@Medjayy]

Me too

[@massimilyeah]

lol same

[@laplasparadox3138]

what was the reddit tgread

[@molikheangtuth]

Im just wonder if we could hold our leg in back breakfall

[@MrCeo1978buddy]

Im a yellow belt this is crucial to learn 👍

[@GR-sd4zw]

Such excellent instruction, as good as it gets!

[@BeyondGrappling]

Glad you think so!

[@codenameidk206]

In my club, the starting position for Yoko Ukemi is same as the starting position for Ushiro Ukemi. Where you just sit on your feet.

[@fkdsnfjs]

Thank You :D

[@jodietheflyinpigfromamityv2446]

You explained that nicely.

[@matthiggins7752]

Hi Matt Thanks so much for this excellent and informative video. I'm 43 years old and just starting Judo. Because I am older, I really want to make sure that I master falling especially if I want to do Judo for a long time, I've noticed that my forearms will sting or that I overuse my forearms when falling and prefer to land on my deltoids as this doesn't sting. Can you advise if this is normal or if there are any excercises I should do to stregthen my forearms muscles please. All the Best Kind Regards Matthew

[@DMKleinArts]

perhaps you are over emphasizing the contact with your forearms? Is it the surface skin stinging or are you feeling pain through your elbow and shoulder when you make contact? Be concious of unevenness in your landing, you want to feel even pressure most od the way down where the bpdy is touching the ground, if you land slap slap slap (thigh, hip, midback) the body isnt connected smoothly. There are many ukemi variations, and also depend on from where you are falling from. Which fall do you use your shoulder on? So long as you can land gently enough. You'll see the breakfalls bleed off the force/energy of the technique applied to you, so you land safely. the arms out act as a brake and a split second brace. the slap is relaxed, you're sinking the extra energy into the ground (before you roll head over heels, unless you indend that). Hope your train ing has been well!

[@johngalvin3124]

Even distribution of weight will prevent any one part of your body suffering in falls. Concentrate on being flexible and fluid, and note the power in the demonstrators core, which comes from Judo practise and absorbs the shocks. Best advice? Visualise yourself doing it perfectly, then when you come to do it, it will all 'fall' into place. It's progressive, my friend, each time you practise you get a little better. Get the basics right no matter how long it takes, and don't stress over what colour your belt is, I've seen Brian Jax practising in a pyjama jacket with a beginners belt on. He knew he was good, and it's enough to know. May you rise high and fall gently, amigo mine ; )

[@BeyondGrappling]

Thanks

[@mrtee1562]

Awesome video......Im starting Judo tonight and was a bit worried about those forward rolls and rolling on my head. lol

[@TheBarretNL]

They always told us to get a lower center of mass by making yourself smaller, the hit on the ground was more like a "task" to prevent arms being loose or stretched out (non ideal positions). I personally thought Aikido was a more elegant way of working with mass and force.

[@ToXicLostt]

When you stretch out your arms and legs your spreading the shock of falling more evenly, it's to prevent injuries

[@KOP1968]

Big thanks great instructions and video

[@BeyondGrappling]

No worries :)

[@drutgat2]

Excellent. Thanks, Matt. What is your suggestion (and others' here) about exhaling so that when one lands, there is no breath or less breath in your lungs?

[@cassiooctaviani473]

That's a great question, I've never seen judoka address this issue. I have always held my breath, and released just a little air on landing, but have heard some people say they really exhale on landing to help absorb the shock. I'd like to hear mere about it from more experienced judoka...

[@stex5026]

In disappointed that I haven't been doing this right in Judo class how long should it take for me to do it correctly?

[@BeyondGrappling]

Which one ?

[@KT_-tj3nq]

@@BeyondGrappling the rolling one

[@Punk_Philosopher]

Is a forward break fall different to a rolling break fall (Zenpo Kaiten Ukemi)?

[@BeyondGrappling]

It’s both ZKU and mae mawari ukemi

[@Punk_Philosopher]

@@BeyondGrappling just read that "ZKU" is an outdated term, most people use "MMU." You know of any good dojos for my 15 y.o daughter in Wellington? Thanks in any case.

Why is putting hands on the mat discouraged?

I don’t know

[@huiqipan]

Thank you so much!!

[@gregb7595]

Should point out you are landing on glut 1st.

[@kamalyadav8243]

[@thecacoph817]

Why is touching the mat to get up avoided?

[@BeyondGrappling]

I don’t know

[@J3unG]

???

[@anilphilip546]

I don't understand - when you are thrown, you don't have the option to bend your legs and get close to the ground, as the instructions to your videos say.

[@deviljon]

No but drilling with correct form will build muscle memory and you will reflexively reduce damage if you are thrown. The better you dril the more you can drill and the less you will get hurt, which means you can train -your- throws more which means you will be thrown less.

[@riccimer]

great instruction

[@BeyondGrappling]

thanks

[@alexza004]

thank you!!

[@captaindovestone3894]

thanks mate top video

[@pierrebridenne8870]

Merci !

[@MrSmileyFaceGames]

Can any of these techniques be utilized in actual hand to hand combat like say if someone throws you over their shoulder (and i am not talking about mock fighting like they do in martial arts competitions. I am talking about an actual fight)

[@ericsynatschk5459]

Yes, definitely.

[@deviljon]

Why would you think otherwise?

[@deviljon]

Notice side and back breakfall leave you in good positions to quickly regain your feet or put opponent in guard if necessary.

[@aasmith6117]

and u wont break a collar bone or fuck your elbow/wrist.

[@renatoruiz8534]

I've been in over 10 street fights and have never been thrown over someone's shoulder. These techniques help if you receive a powerful two handed shove to the chest. VERY common.

[@ariturbo4094]

Similar like aikido

[@BeyondGrappling]

+Ari Turbo yes that’s right
