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.
Thanks for watching the video, and learning a new skill that can help you and your patient/client in the future! What is the hardest part about this technique for you? Have you ever used a falling technique before to save yourself? Comment below and let me know.
Happy falling!
