Nice move. I assume this was practiced a bit, like a martial artist practicing a break-fall, right?
Actually yes, I had done several years of breakfalls years prior, and that training became instinct for handling this situation of "Hey I'm up in the air moving at decent speed, with the ground approaching me”
Ah. Ya know, I didn't even look at the username. ;-)
We may have trained in the same organizations, except if you practiced a lotta break-falls then you wouldn't've been under Shihan Sato like me (near Langara station). We only practiced that in seminars.
I last did break-falls when Sensei Pat McCarthy came to the Island and I was there, and I ended up bruising my hip joint (ah jeez did that f'n sting) from a few janky hits.
