Principles |
| Defense |
* The fall is basic within self-defense, since it is a way to protect ones body in whatever situation.
* It stengthens ones body and prepare to face any hinderniss within everyday's life. |
| Multi-value |
* Motion skill, which once is automatic, can be transfered in any other sportlike situation (example: ski, soccer, cyclism, athletics and so on). |
| Psychologic |
* One learns to face new and unforeseen situations with more self-confidence.
* Very often the blind person is stopped by the fear to fall and to get hurt.
* The fall with forward rotation (mae mawari ukemi) gives the ability to face problems and to cope with them.
* To know how to fall means to have relaxed muscles and therefore the opportunity to make more fluid movements; theorem: fear = muscular tension. |
| Muscular tone |
* It strengthens arms, shoulders, hips, abdomen and back muscles. |
| Balance |
Physical aspect:
* fall exercises develop motion skills which mainly help to maintain and gain vertical posture back.
Psychological aspect:
* Getting aware of the relationship between ones body the space and means(self-analisys);
* Speed and awareness concerning decisions with which one intervenes in order to make sure to maintain ones balance, both by reacting immediately in unforeseen situations and by developping adequate posture automatisms (outside analisys);
* Aquiring behavioral qualities: calmness, attention, precision, self-confidence. |
| Posture's education |
* Balance exercises stimulate straightening reflexes which act on posture's muscles, creating an opposite reaction between the extension muscles of the spine and those around the abdomen, of the sideways muscles and the bakcbone ones, of the backside of the abdomen and the lower ones of the spine. |
| Laterality |
* The side fall is an exercise to strengthen laterality (yoko ukemi).
* Complex exercise because:
- the right fall asks for a left movement;
- the left fall asks for a right movement;
- it is useful for orientation. |
| Orientation and Coordination |
* In the forward fall with rotation and in the backfall with saumersault the use of space are not quite typical, since the body assumes not usual positions.
* Complex exercise for orientation and sensibilization of neuro motion coordination. |
| Skill |
* Improving the developing function (physical qualities) and refining the perceptive function (psycho motion qualities), the blind athletes improves his adjusting function aquiring skill which is an upper motion adjustment. |
