Re: breakfall

If you are landing on your back, then it is telling you that you are not going over at the proper angle. If you go over at the proper angle, then you will land on your side and not your back. The forward rolls that everyone is telling you to practice is the key. All a breakfall is, is a forward roll or jump depending on how far nage is throwing you but up in the air. I was scared going up in the air for I was worried that I would land on my head which means then that my body is not rotating fast enough over my head. So when you get confident and want to try it in the air, make sure you get enough momemtum so that you don't land on your head.
