Vertical Falling Tutorial

Today I am happy to release the first Science of Falling falling tutorial all about the vertical fall. In this video I introduce the reason why health professionals should learn falling techniques, review basic squat mechanics, discuss the vertical jump landing and progressions, and discuss an advanced vertical falling technique called the slap out.

Need a mat?

I recommend learning these techniques either on a soft surface such as grass, or using a mat for safety. A few basic 2in mats I would recommend are the We Sell Mats 4ft x 6ft x 2in, We Sell Mats 4ft x 8ft x 2in, and We Sell Mats 4ft x 10ft x 2in. If you need a thicker mat for safety or comfort I recommend the Tumbl Trak 4ft x 8ft x 4in or the We Sell Mats 4ft x 8ft x 4in.
