🥋 MOVE OF THE MONTH | OCTOBER 2026

This month’s move teaches an important skill: Back Break Fall.

Learning how to fall is part of learning how to protect yourself. The Back Break Fall helps students manage a backward fall by keeping the chin tucked, protecting the head, and distributing the impact rather than reaching back to catch themselves with their hands.

Practicing this movement builds confidence when transitioning from standing to the ground and provides a foundation for training throws and takedowns.

The fundamentals aren’t always about delivering a technique. Sometimes, they’re about knowing how to receive one.

Train the details. They matter.

Stay curious. Be open. See what’s possible. 🥋🔥

This October at Ryer Martial Arts, our Word of the Month is OPPORTUNITY.

Every class offers a chance to learn, improve, and help someone else grow. Sometimes that opportunity is in asking a question, trying a different approach, or discovering something new in a technique you’ve practiced many times.

On the mat and in life, an open mind helps us recognize possibilities we might otherwise walk past.

💬 “Opportunity is often right in front of you. Stay curious enough to see it and open enough to embrace it.”

What opportunity will you recognize today?
