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).

These are the reasons why this kind of techniques should be:

The first to learn
The most frequently trained

Everything you should know about breakfalls

The necessary theory to correctly apply the techniques:

The fundamental concepts of the fallings – The key points in common with most of the controlled falling techniques
What are breakfalls and how to learn them – How to start learning the controlled falling techniques
The secrets of tactical combat interactions – How we can alter our body structure to cushion the falls
How to breathe when I get punched – The way we have to breathe when we fall

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):

The backward breakfall – The first basic controlled falling technique
The lateral breakfall – The second basic controlled falling technique
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.
