Learn breakfalls (controlled fallings): they can save your life

The importance of knowing how to fall

What happened to me

I was on a ladder (during a moving house)
I had a lot of things in my hands (cartons, posters and more)
I lost my equilibrium, due to a broken part of the soil (at the bottom of the ladder)
I fell

Why I have to thank Kung Fu

Because my body instinctively knows how to control my fallings (how to protect my weak parts, how to set its structure, etc.)
Using (part of) the breakfall’s theory, I have been able to limit the damages
I got away with a small ankle sprain, that in a few hours has already passed
The same evening I had no problems training as always

A note by Master Kongling – This is not the first time I was able to take advantage of the controlled falls outside the martial context but this is the first time I truly felt to have saved myself from an unexpected bad injury.

Why I created this video

I thought it is very important to study those kinds of techniques
Even for those who do not like martial arts
To learn (and naturally train) breakfalls it is not only for those who get thrown (read The 3 phases of a throw), it is incredibly useful also in daily life
If I didn’t know those techniques I would have broken my leg (or worst)
I firmly believe that the 3 basic controlled fallings should be learned at school
It is for this reason that (already some time ago) I have created this small guide Everything you should know about breakfalls

Notes

The image of the video has nothing to do with the real event
This is the first Vlog, we will try to improve the video quality
