Re: How should I handle this?

Sorry that you have this dilemma. I think you should be able to breakfall, you need to practice. I cannot understand what the insructor who does not want to see breakfalls means! You HAVE to breakfall when you lose your balance..if any technique is done correctly uke will have to breakfall...you have no chance of understanding technique either as uke or tori if the technique does not break balance..if it breaks balance you either fall in a heap (injury?) or you breakfall (lower chance of injury ,and good fun!!)
