Hm. You'd have to point me at the brunette, there's a couple :-) You don't really get thrown that dramatically most of the beginning time, but yeah, there's a whole bunch there that wouldn't be healthy for you. Essentially tons of rolling over your back. I'm hoping I'll get into the groove to go back, though! Then I know how to make big, burly, ugly guys do my bidding by twisting their pinky.
What I really like, though, is when it all comes together. Someone rushes at you, and there's this little dance, and it's all graceful, and nobody uses any force, and like magic they're flying down over there and you're still standing more or less where you were. It's all about manipulating your natural instincts and center of mass. You typically don't use force to change anyone's momentum, you just redirect it in a way that gives you control over the attacker.
