Peter, I heard one sensei say that if you make a sound as you breakfall then that's a break on a hard surface. I've been trying to eliminate the hitting as much as possbile and blend with the throw so that I bounce up rather than hit the mat.

Martin is leading the way with that one. He is one of the best people to practice randori with because no matter how hard you throw him, he bounced just as easily and is coming straight back at you! It is xhausting but lots of fun.

Which kind of brings me to the ``So, should you stop at fter your ukemi or not?'' question... I think that keeping some amount of mobility is good.... Pros? Cons?

The people who understand, understand prefectly.
