When I was a kid I went through a martial arts phase with a friend. We wanted to be ninjas, SAS men etc etc. One thing we did was practice breakfalls to extreme for a few months, although we weren't that tough as we did them on grass. I remember two of us practicing diving forwards from a chest high fence onto the grass and rolling, doing a ton of highly contrived/cooperative judo throws, and practicing PLFs dropping from increasingly high tree branches and rope swings, and more. Generally any stuff we saw in a movie.

Amazingly nothing broke and it probably saved me from much worse things falling off bicycles when I was a few years older. With hindsight, if parkour had existed then we'd have been into it.
