Rolls and breakfalls
1. Forward Roll:
We start by training this roll on mats to be safe, later we learn to do it on a hard surface to make it more real….
Remember when you do the forward roll you are able to see first the opponents in front of you and just before you roll if there is any opponents behind you, pick up a weapon, roll over a obstacle, roll under a obstacle, kick or even use it as a takedown….
2. Backward Roll:
We also start on mats with this one and later we learn to do it on a hard surface to make it more real….
This roll can be used as a counter to the shout…
3. Forward Breakfall:
This teaches you to protect your face and the front of your body against damage if you fall forward…..
4. Backward Breakfall:
This teaches you how to protect the back of your head and how to land correct if you fall backwards…..
5. Sidewards Breakfall:
These teaches you how to land correct if you where thrown or for some other reason did land on your side….
You can make a variation of this one and the sweep, where you bring the opponent down with you into ground fight and bring him into the mount….
