The art of break falling is the way to fall properly in a fight, to reduce injury so you don't hurt yourself. You want to disperse the energy through your entire body, so the pressure isn't concentrated into one area. Stay safe and practice your break falls for BJJ, Judo, MMA, Jiu-Jitsu, Kuk Sool Won, the Dojo and even street fights.
