If nothing else, everyone should learn two physical skills: swimming and falling.
The most important thing I learned from my short time in kids’ Judo classes was how to fall safely in a way that minimizes impact. On more than one occasion โ like the time I stopped short on my bike falling over my handlebars but rolled safely back to my feet in the middle of the road โ this skill has saved me from more serious injuries.
Wow, I totally remember doing those falling practices as a kid in my dad’s Judo classes! Looks like I need to refresh my skills ๐
