The falling techniques (breakfalls) [MINI-GUIDE]

A free mini-guide about how to fall safely

Understanding how to limit / nullify the effects of an unwanted fall can often make the difference between life and death:

  • As in martial arts practice
  • As in combat sports
  • As in self-defense contexts
  • As in daily life

Note – This article has been asked by one of our Core Course practitioners on Patreon (see how to attend our home study classes here Learn Kung Fu online: a beginner-to-expert course).

This is the reasons why this kind of techniques should be:

  • The first to learn
  • The most frequently trained

Everything you should know about breakfalls

The 3 basic controlled falling

These are the most important techniques and they should be studied even if we do not plan to practice martial arts (all the others are acrobatic, for specific contexts and / or for high-level combat performances):

  1. The backward breakfall – The first basic controlled falling technique
  2. The lateral breakfall – The second basic controlled falling technique
  3. The frontal breakfall – The third basic controlled falling technique

A note by Master Kongling – For the Core Course practitioners: the other falling methods of 6 Dragons Kung Fu are gradually taught inside the lessons, after the necessary basic conditioning.
