Breakfalling course
Sensei Nicola Price, Nidan/Secondary
Saturday 10th November
London Nautical School
9.30 a.m. arrival to 1pm
Cost: £10
This course is aimed at all grades who want to improve their break-falling significantly.

Sensei Price has a large experience of break falling and teaching it within the London Region and Nationally. This course will deal with all aspects of break falling up to advanced break falling required for the Green Belt Grade. It is particularly recommended for all novices who are preparing for their grading in December for which break falling is the most important aspect.

For the grades, will we be looking at the breakfalling from kneeling to advanced, and how to improve the application of this in throws. I will be using a couple of the throws from the Nage No Kata which have big breakfalls to do this.

The course is also recommended to instructors who wish to learn more about how to efficiently teach and correct break falling.
