i learned to breakfall very well from judo and aikido. it has saved my ass alot of times. i think its one of the best things ive gained from martial arts.
i fell down some stairs at school, and as i fell backward, my head tucked in and my 2 hands went back to break my fall, and i was totally fine. that slip could have seriously injured me, but it didnt.ive tripped over stuff too and was able to save myself by rolling and getting right back up. when i was sparring in muay thai one time, someone knocked me backwards and i fell back, but used my momentum to roll backwards over my shoulder and stand right back up.
