Heather,

I'm wondering the same thing as Janet. I have faced a lot of fear of having to learn to roll and breakfall to the point that it was stagnating. In my first dojo, I was thrown into breakfalls on my SECOND day. Not a good course of action. Any how this developed into a lot of fear of going to class. Now almost 5 years later and being in a very supportive dojo (and different one from my first) helped a lot. Please don't think just because "sensei says" that you shouldn't listen to you intuition. Like the others said, listen to your self and your internal signals they might be telling you something.
