Mastering the Art of Break Falls by Judo Champion Regis Lemus

We have the pleasure to bring you a blast from the past Regis Lemus Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor from the golden days at Anta's Fitness and Self Defense in Doral. He was an instructor at Anta’s many years ago. I found this on a DVD we had. We're throwing it back to the basics - the fundamental skill of breaking falls.
We had the honor and pleasure to have Regis a 5-time Brazilian Judo Champion, an 8-time international Judo champion, and even had the privilege of being an alternate in the Atlanta Summer Olympics in 1996 representing Brazil. But in this video let's focus on something every martial artist should master - the art of breaking falls.
Breaking falls is a skill that can save you from injuries, and who better to learn it from than a world champion? Regis will guide us through the techniques that helped him become a Judo powerhouse.
First up, the backward break fall. Watch closely. It's about distributing the impact across your body, protecting yourself from potential harm.
Next He will show you breaking the fall from the sides. Essential for defending against throws and sweeps.
Remember safety first. Practice these break falls on a soft surface initially, gradually transitioning to more challenging surfaces as your technique improves.
These are the fundamental breaking falls that every martial artist should have in their arsenal. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting, these techniques can make a world of difference. Thanks for joining me on this nostalgic journey.
