Martial Arts - What Do/Did You Study

I've been doing a little rolling near the end of class with other wb, but I have to be careful. I've been able to muscle my way through things a bit, but I don't want to hurt any one or get me hurt. I still need to learn a lot, just one the basics.

I also need to learn to take falls again. I was thrown 2-3 times last night from a basic leg sweep and landed fairly hard each time. I was fine, but much more and I'd have the wind knocked out of me.

I can teach you how to fall and do rolls... pretty easy once you get it...

better than hitting like a ton of bricks. My partner and the instructor both came over to see if I was OK. I was fine, but I guess it didn't look too graceful. That and I wasn't exhaling on impact.

pfft exhaling on impact? Putting too much thought into it.
