I like tutorials like this and the forward roll because I don't do parkour (at least not yet), but I do trail running and my "plow straight into the ground" technique hasn't been producing the results I want vis a vis lack of blood and pain. I've never thought about practicing falling techniques, but it makes so much sense.
Thanks for the great tutorial, love how the graceful exit is also demonstrated!
Really, this is pretty much the most important thing for beginners to learn in a *lot* of physical activities, not just parkour. Great video.
Thank you! We're planning on filming more ukemi videos soon.

Yes, we don't like the blood and pain, either. Breakfalls and rolls start to come naturally with a little progress, though.
