A necessary skill...
I remember walking into my first Muay Thai class and throwing a round kick, only for it to be caught and my back leg swept, leaving me staring at the ceiling wondering what had happened... thank god I knew how to fall!
I began my journey in martial arts at just 9 years old. After studying Karate forfew years or so, I moved on to Yoshinkan Aikido, a traditional system featuring locks and throws. From my very first class, the basics of break falling was drilled in to me in order to receive the technique safely and progress my own level.
I studied Aikido for 16 years, travelling to Australia to study full time and achieving the rank of 3rd Degree Black Belt.
However, I also cross trained and have experience in boxing, traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, BJJ and MMA as well as some combatives.
No matter what I studied however, there was a need for some level of break falling and my time Aikido served me well doing this.
If you study any form of martial art, you need learn to break fall correctly and safely, and this is what this course is for.
To take you from a beginner level of break falling, up to an advanced level of flip falling.
