SIDE FALL BREAK

Falls

Side fall break follows all the same principles as back fall break. The assumption

is that, due to the nature of the takedown or your body position, your fall is to
one side of your body and you are limited to the use of one hand. As you fall,
your goal is to absorb the impact along one palm and forearm, and along the
broad muscles in your upper back, while protecting your head and lower back
from injury.

STARTING POSITION: Standing.

1. As a training method, to fall to your right, shoot your right leg straight out and
fall with your right side leading toward the floor. Lead as much as possible with
your upper body and pull your hips up. Tuck your chin and keep your teeth

together. This protects your head and neck.
