BJJ people have really bad break falls

I see purple belts still posting their arm out to soften the take down, when you’re suppose to do ukemi

Slapping the mat may distribute the force a little, but it’s also a way to keep your body in proper falling position, so you don’t destroy your arm posting .. instead it’s tucked in and you’re ready to slap the mat

are you a Judoka?

are you a Judoka?

Nope

I recently started BJJ, but I’ve been practicing judo style ukemi before classes, because I don’t want to get injured by posting my arm

Before this, I did wrestling for 6 months

Wrestling does not teach any sort of break fall
