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.

I did mine in Aikido in Southern Ontario before coming to BC. Breakfalls were the base lessons and practised every session for part of the warm-ups.

When somebody is rotating your arm like a well crank handle the unwinding way out is via a breakfall ๐Ÿ˜€
