While I agree it is utterly useless in judo because there is no single judo throw that tosses an opponent on to their stomach (save possibly a badly or lazily done te-guruma), it is quite the lifesaver when facing off against a wrestler who does a waistlock takedown from behind. Oddly enough, most wrestlers don't even practice the front breakfall (or any breakfall for that matter) and so they often go SPLAT! when caught with said waistlock takedown. Tran Tran Hi,
