At what belt did your sensei teach you how to.

What is a "doshu fall"? In Sweden there is a general rule that when receiving 3 kyu (and being able to wear the hakama) a practitioner should normally be able to do breakfalls

[rugwithlegs]

I had to learn the various Ukemi at the same time as the techniques. No learning koshinage if you can't fall out of koshinage.

What is a "doshu fall"?

The end result when Doshu throws you? :D

[turbonis]

what do you call that breakfall in your dojos?
at 0.10seconds we call that breakfall, doshu fall in our dojo.

Mostly it's what your sensei named it. Me too and probably most everyone here on this forum never heard of the Doshu fall either.

what do you call that breakfall in your dojos?It is quite common to call it "limp(i.e.dead) leaf" over here.
Ushiro otoshi - like Donovan Waite names it - is the name of a certain technique here.

I think we know what is being referenced here, even though ("gasp") we're all calling it something different or not even naming it.

Still for me the same answer. Receiving technique was taught at the same time as doing the technique all the way through, beyond a couple of very early classes of rolling without any stimuluii. I don't recall being taught this at all; just braced my neck and did a flat back fall in a high momentum moment.

[Walter Martindale]

Among other things, I've heard it called "Relax and go Splat"...
However, ukemi works for me.

I was taught in the beginning the different ways of landing on the ground as part of our warm ups prior to practice. Never heard names for them.

In practice Uke was always lead into the fall by Nage and used what landing that was apparent whether it was high, low, a straight drop, a projection into a roll or flying through air.

the sad part here is that we are only using taekwondo rubber mats. which makes it more difficult to practice these.

[rugwithlegs]

I guess invest in a crash mat and some thicker mats, or have people stick to falls that are less fun to watch but are more appropriate for every surface.

[fatebass21]

While it is expected that we know how to do a basic break fall we are not forced in terms of the 'intensity' or height. Kind of allowed to go at our own pace until we perform in alignment with where Sensei feels we should be based on our level.

[Mary Eastland]

We have never done high falls. I can do one but why?

Then maybe you shouldn't be doing them.

Seriously, what is the point in doing something that you know will be a destructive practice?

If you are referring to yoko ukemi as "high fall" then i would say 4. kyu or second year of practice.
