How to Breakfall

A break fall or 'Ukemi' is the single most important thing you will learn in judo. A breakfall will teach you how to fall safely without causing injury to yourself or others. It will allow you to be thrown over and over again without pain so you can practice judo for extended periods of time. It will also give you confidence and an understanding of balance so therefore must be done correctly and effectively. Have a watch of this video to ensure your break falls are perfect every time. This video also shows the fundamental teaching regime I use during my beginner induction sessions at the Sobell Judo Club. Every one of my new students are taught extensively on correct break fall techniques so that way they can get off to the best possible start. Therefore, this video is a great tool for coaches as well as beginners. Be sure to leave a comment letting me know how you teach break falls, share the video and leave a rating!
