Re: Protecting yourself after a breakfall.
IMHO, get on the mat, on your back, and figure it out.
There is not much mat work done in Aikido, But the same principles still apply to taking the direction of attack and belending with it.
In FMA/JKD we used to train on the ground will follow up attacks.
When in doubt, don't go to the head, go to the mat and figure it out. Training is the best answer.
