Falling Techniques
Front Rolling Fall (Standing Position)

Start from a standing position, with feet shoulder width apart.

Take one step forward with the left foot.
Place knife-edge of left hand on the mat between the left foot and right hand with fingers of knife hand pointed back toward the body.
Turn head to the right looking over the right shoulder. If the head does not remain turned, but tucks into the chest, it may impact the floor.
Push forward with the right foot, rolling along the outside of the left arm, diagonally across the back, and finish in a right side fall position. Keep the body curled like a ball throughout the roll.
At the end of the roll, slap the mat with the right hand, kiai, and raise arms and legs to a guarding position.
Return to a standing position.
Repeat with right leg forward, rolling into a left side fall.
Repeat until the movements become smooth and powerful.
