  • Summary

  • In the martial arts we teach the skills of how to fall on the ground safely to avoid injury. We tuck our chin to our chest and round the surface of our back so we can dissipate the energy of the fall over the rounded surface of our back--much like rolling a ball. We prevent the energy of the fall from entering our bodies, and creating injury,  by forcing it to roll over our round surface.  We  stop our roll and give the fall-energy back to the earth by slapping the ground with our open hands and flat arms. Listen to this podcast to understand how we may manage difficult conversations and insults by not accepting the negative energy inside and letting it roll over our external surface without taking it in to create harm.  Be like the ball :-)
