Falling Techniques Back Fall (Squatting Position) |
Now practice the same technique by falling backward from a squatting position. Begin by assuming a deep squat position with the arms in a guarding position, then:
Cross the arms at the chest with tight fists and roll backward with a kiai.
Follow the same steps as explained in the sitting position description.
Do not let the legs fly back over the head.
Return to the squatting position.
Repeat until the movements become smooth and powerful.
Standing-Squatting
Next practice the same technique by starting from a standing position with the arms in a guarding position, then:
Squat and fall backward with a kiai, all in a smooth motion.
Follow the same steps as explained in the sitting position description.
As you roll backward quickly pull the knees inward toward the chest to absorb the rolling momentum and keep the legs from flying back the head.
Return to the standing position.
Repeat until the movements become smooth and powerful.
