rolling

[treelizard]

Which arts besides aiki and taijutsu teach you how to fall properly? I know there's a bit of rolling in muay thai (or was it BJJ?)...anything else?

Also does anybody know what the differences are between different styles of rolling? Or are they all pretty much the same?

Judo, Japanese Jiujitsu, Hapkido, Hwarangdo, Kuksool - to name a few.

Wow, okay, this'll be easier than I thought, to find an art where I get to roll.

I've seen grapplers and ninjas and even some aiki guys roll, and it all looks the same to me. Is there a distinction between rolling "styles" of all these arts, and the ones you mentioned, Tom?

Kung fu spends a lot of time on rolling and break falls. In all seriousness though that was something that playing football drilled into me. When you get hit at a dead sprint by someone that out-weighs you by 100+ pounds you either figure out how to roll with it or you get hurt. It's a little bit trickier if you're holding a weapon though.

Which styles kung fu?

I have a hard time with it, with not immediately tensing up. And I tried some Muay Thai rolls in the park with a friend and had a hard time keeping my rolls centered, aligned, tight. Tried for about a half hour and then moved on to other techniques...

Something to work on.

From what I've seen, its identical between styles.

There's a difference between rolling and breakfalling, though.

Rolling is more appropriate if you are thrown clear or fall.

Breakfalling is better if you're tossed, sweeped, slammed etc.

Shaolin Hung Chuan def. does, although it's a safe bet that any style that uses a lot of chin na will. We also did a good amount of it in Shaolin Kempo Karate.

Judo (infosite) has some good stuff on Falling/ ukemi...
