CHAPTER I
The Breakfalls
The Complete Jujitsuan
(1) PREPARATORY EXERCISE FOR THE BREAKFALLS Having studied the theory of the Breakfalls in the General Hints we will now proceed to put it into practice. Lie down at full length on the mat on your back; raise your head, bringing your chin in to your chest; bend your legs slightly so that you can place the soles of your feet flat on the mat. Now roll your body half-way over to your left side, bending your right arm across your chest. (Phase I.) From this position roll your body over half-way on to your right side and beat the palm of your right hand strongly on the mat about ten inches from your side, keeping the arm perfectly straight. (Phases II, III, and IV.) As you make the beat with the right hand you should bring your left arm across your chest ready for the roll to the left again. (Phases V and VI.) Repeat this rolling and beating right and left alternately several times, and then rest awhile. It is not advisable to practise too long at this, as it is inclined to make the head ache if done too much at one time.

The Breakfalls
(2) THE SIDE BREAKFALL Stand erect in the centre of the mat; raise the right leg forward, keeping it quite straight, and at the same time sink to a squatting position on the left leg. Whilst you are doing this bend your right arm and bring it across the chest ready for the beat on the mat. (Phases I, II, and III.) When you get to within about four inches of the mat throw the body backward and sideways to the right, and strongly beat the mat on your right side with your right hand a second before your body touches. (Phases IV, V, and VI.) The head should be kept well raised, and with the chin on the chest and the muscles on the left side of the neck contracted so as to prevent the head from jerking down on the mat after the fall. Practise this an equal number of times on the other side by squatting on the right leg, raising the left leg, and beating the mat with the left hand.

(3) THE BACKWARD BREAKFALL Stand erect in the centre of the mat; sink down to the full squatting position, i.e. bending the legs as far as possible, turning the knees and toes outward, keeping the heels together and raising them as you sink. Raise both your arms straight forward to shoulder height as you sink down. (Phases I and II.) From this position start the breakfall, sitting down on the haunches, then rolling back on to the shoulderblades, and beat the hands afterwards to get the proper action of the arms. When you have practised this well, you must endeavour to make a slight spring from the squatting position backward on to your shoulders, beating the mat a second before they touch. The action is very similar to that of catching a crab in rowing. (Phases III, IV, and V.) When you roll on your back your legs should shoot up in the air. (Phase VI.) The last stage of this breakfall should be when you can fall straight back from the attention.
10
The Breakfalls
(4) THE FORWARD BREAKFALL. PREPARATORY Stand erect in the centre of the mat, bend the knees and raise the heels, and sink down to the full squatting position; let the body fall forward, losing the balance, and commence to raise your arms forward. (Phases I, II, and III.) Continue to fall forward, straightening the legs and thrusting the body forward, but keeping the feet on the same spot, and raise the arms, bending at the elbows. Now beat the palms of the hands and the forearms strongly on the mat, and at such a distance from the feet that when you are at full length your hands are level with your head and about fourteen inches apart, and your elbows just behind your shoulders. (Phases IV, V, and VI.) No part of your body should touch the mat, and you should rest solely on your forearms and toes. This should be practised a good deal before you go on to the advanced stage.

(5) THE FORWARD BREAKFALL ADVAnCED Stand erect in the centre of the mat; lean forward, bending the legs slightly, and then spring upward and forward into the air, raising the arms so that when the body is horizontal they should be in the correct position for the beat. When the body has attained the horizontal position it should be about three feet above the mat. When the body has fallen to within about six inches of the mat beat the hands strongly, and immediately afterwards the forearms should come to the mat. Lower the feet gently to the mat, but keep the body free. This fall can be led up to by first resting on the hands and feet, and then falling to the mat and beating, then by squatting and falling forward and beating.

The Breakfalls
(6) THE FORWARD ROLLInG BREAKFALL Stand erect in the centre of the mat bend forward, and place the hands on the mat about eighteen inches in front of the feet; bring the chin in on the chest and spring over on to the shoulder-blades, carry the legs over the head, and let them fall forward, bending well at the knees, and beat the soles of the feet on the mat. As you make the beat with the feet you must beat the palms of the hands strongly on the mat at the sides of the body and at a distance of about ten inches. The spine should be kept well up from the mat, similar to the bridge in ordinary wrestling until the force of the fall is broken with the hands and feet. When well practised in the above you should endeavour to do this breakfall by making a kind of forward somersault, alighting on the shoulder-blades a second after making the beat.

(7) THE OBLIQUE FORWARD ROLLInG BREAKFALL Stand erect at one corner of the mat with the left leg forward and the left shoulder in advance. Bend forward and place the left hand on the mat a few inches in front of the left foot and a few inches to the right, with the fingers pointing to the right. At the same time place the right hand on the mat near the left hand, but with the fingers pointing to the front. Slowly lower the left elbow to the mat; turn the head so that the chin touches the right shoulder, and then spring over on to the left shoulder-blade, rolling obliquely across the back to the right hip, and crossing the left leg over the right and beating the sole of the left foot and the right hand on the mat. Rise with the impetus of the roll to a standing position, facing the opposite way to which you started. Do not attempt to rise at first when learning this, but remain at full length.

The Breakfalls
(8) THE CART-WHEEL BREAKFALL Stand erect at one corner of the mat with feet apart about twelve inches, and left arm raised straight above head, and the head turned to the left. Bring the left arm and body down sideways, springing off the left foot, and place the left hand flat on the mat about eighteen inches to the side of the left foot. Wheel over to your left, bringing the right hand down on the mat about fourteen inches from the left hand, then bring the right foot down, and assume the erect position facing the same way in which you started. The arms and legs should have a position similar to those of the spokes of a cart-wheel as you go over, and you should go exactly sideways. This trick is used as an alternative to the breakfall for the Stomach Throw, thus saving you going down on your back. It is also used in getting to your opponent’s head when he is lying on his back with his feet up, preventing you getting near him.
