Analyzing Bruises

Last night we did break falls for a solid 2 hours. It was a fantastic class, but the hard zebra mats left me with 8 nasty bruises.

The bruises are in different spots on my left and right legs. So clearly I'm not consistent with my landing.

I've heard lots of people say that if a specific point hurts when you take a fall, you're falling wrong. So my weird question.... Is it possible to figure out how to improve my ukemi from my bruises?
