I might have skimmed over this a bit in a previous post, but now I’ve found a video that does a great job explaining how to roll out of a fall. Be sure to practice all of these rolls on a soft surface.
Rolls take a lot of practice and you need to do them regularly. Make it a habit.
Note: As with every technique I post, 1) you need to practice with a willing adult participant, 2) I don’t endorse any of the sites or teachers, and 3) you need to be aware of and know the self-defense laws in your state. The purpose of these posts is to provide you with information about techniques I would use in certain situations. If you really want to become an expert in self-defense, then you need to find a dojang or dojo. If you have questions about how to identify a good dojang or dojo, post your questions in the comments.
