[Aikido Ukemi] 50 Different Ukemi Drills in 7 Minutes

50 different Aikido ukemi drills in 7 minutes flat! Ukemi is an intrinsic part of Aikido, and learning to do proper ukemi is an important part of your Aikido practice - that's why I hope that by watching 50 different ukemi variations, hopefully I can inspire you to advance your own ukemi training in Aikido!
In the video there is both ukemi that is better for beginning Aikido practitioners, so the ukemi drills are not too difficult, but there are also different ukemi exercises that are more aimed at experienced Aikidoka. Hopefully no matter what level your own ukemi is at, you can find something that fits!
Ukemi is an important part of Aikido. It is trained so that Uke does not injure him or herself when taking a technique, and proper ukemi ensures that uke can take the technique safely. That is probably the biggest reason that ukemi is trained so intensively in Aikido. Being able to do proper ukemi is needed to properly learn to flow with the techniques, which is why all Aikidoka train ukemi so much.

[@mathieugolos90]

The first video I discovered from you years ago. I hope you will be back on track soon and recover well from the hack ✌

[@dannyhall3561]

Congratulations to the team that put this tutorial together. It is a really useful took for improving ukemi and I plan to introduce some of the drills into our Aikido club. Well done and thank you.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+Danny Hall Thank you for your support! I am happy it will come into service

Sensei can you do a tutorial for tenshinage and iriminage fall ? The one with slams

[@kucebamsi]

I really love 46. :) But the whole video is very nice. Thanks. :)

[@MartialArtsJourney]

kucebamsi 46 is a great transition to a high fall. I discovered it fairly recently and really enjoy it too

[@jingdoes4661]

You made it look so easy though 😃

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+Angelie Pearl Abayan It's true that when someone is able to do the drills, they look natural and easy. But everyone can get there :)

[@spiral272]

Hello. I started studying Aikido about 6 years ago a few years after moving to Japan. You have a very clear teaching style and I get the impression you are also very compassionate. You have an artist's face when you practice. I have a feeling I'm going to learn a lot from your material. Where are you located? Thanks for posting!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Thanks! I appreciate your words. Our Dojo is located in middle Europe (Lithuania), city Siauliai. If you ever travel around, you're always welcome to visit!

[@MonsieurChips]

And I though my ukemis were ok. Nice video

[@oscarnavamber164]

hat you have been wonderful

[@hafsaelho2585]

The heart of a human being is no different from the soul of heaven and earth. In your practice always keep in your thoughts the interaction of heaven and earth, water and fire, yin and yang. Morihei Ueshiba🍁

[@MrOresko]

Do you think the higs side rolls good for BJJ?

[@Feverm00n]

This was really cool! I especially like the rolling stuff! I might try using some of these! I'm pretty much a total newbie and I always find that I'm very stiff and choreographed (I can feel that my back isn't rounded so I "thud" and I also always have to think before I roll and get stuck in a loop of rolling from and to the same positions when practicing without a partner). Thanks for this video! Lots of food for thought :)

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Awesome! I'm really glad you liked it. We all start as newbies, but it's the hunger and sincere learning that makes all the change :)

[@ArnasLeo]

good stuff! (Y)

[@jackmcdouglas4126]

If you pay attention they're all variations of just one movement: the shoulder roll.

[@LianLawliet]

Excellent demostration, i want to do the #47, please do a tutotorial!!! thanks :)

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Leandro Revuelta Hey Leandro, actually we have already done a tutorial for the #47. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmOqo6ainqlnqLMm29s Good luck!

[@LianLawliet]

+AikidoSiauliai thanks a lott!!

[@IbrahimKhalil-bt9yh]

The no hands roll can be combined with locks

[@roma2524]

thank you for your tutorials, I like it very much, con you please explain Ukemi # 49

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+Rodrigo Marquez Hello Rodrigo. Thank you for your support. Actually we just released a tutorial for a very similar Ukemi, you can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqCkoqqsicxgjas . In the video you'll see a front version. I will make sure to make a backward one as well as soon as I can and I will let you know when it's out!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+Rodrigo Marquez I've started working on the tutorial for #49. Will release it on our channel on 25th of September. Stay tuned!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+Rodrigo Marquez Dear Rodrigo, Here is your requested tutorial. bit.ly/1WkDgXE Please enjoy and let us know what you think!

[@Mikesvids2]

#20 the backward push up. Is there a progression you could show. I can't see to get the lift. thanks!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+Mike McGuire Will look into it.

[@salmahamzaoui2072]

Hello. Can I ask you what's the japanese name of the ukemi number 47?

[@uciel_6628]

thx for the vid rokas sensei :) please can you made tutorial backward facing roll, because i'm not good with this ukemi technique and make my back hurts

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Hi Deslon! Thanks for liking the video. I believe I've already made a backward facing roll video. Here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6TGqoSjqL-Noa8m26s . Let me know if it helps and if you need more! Good luck training

[@uciel_6628]

oh thx maybe i miss that video :) thx for sharing rokas sensei, i'll watch the video and try to practice

[@MartialArtsJourney]

deslon samosir Good luck!

[@hollowdusk]

Love all your stuff. Do you have a forward feather tutorial?

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+Stephen Macken Thanks! It's touched upon in the Ikkyo Tutorial bit.ly/1QwzDdp , but actually it would be great to make one specifically for it. I can commit into releasing it on October 8th, since I've scheduled a few requested tutorials already, but I'll try to make it very full and well covered, to compensate for the wait.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+Stephen Macken Dear Steven, these last couple of weeks were quite busy, so I will be running late with your video. Really sorry for that. I will do my best to post it next week.

[@hollowdusk]

+AikidoSiauliai wow Your too kind. I consider your films gifts and you can never wait to long for a gift so no worries

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Thanks so much for your support! I'm positive I'll get back to you next week then

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+Stephen Macken Dear Stephen, it's finally here: bit.ly/1k4renB . Let me know what you think! And thanks for the request

[@user-qn1hg2dh3m]

👍👏

[@Hunter_Kyles]

at my aikido number seven is called mioshero

[@IbrahimKhalil-bt9yh]

If you combine these ukemi with atemi and locks it will be effective

[@TheWavetriper]

Domo Arigato:)

[@coachmentor7092]

No one has written that such a video can not be viewed, because the transitions between the cuts blink a dark background, which makes viewing the video very unpleasant. It is better to do either without such a transition, or with some effect, but definitely not such a blinking black background.

[@HENZI-cv7re]

[@southcoastaikido3004]

i like it ,but when i teach i tell students not to put both hands down .whats the reason you all do?

[@MartialArtsJourney]

One hand supports the weight of the body so that the other one could more easily adjust and distribute the weight. That is if I understood the question right

[@Aytekwg]

do you have a website ?

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+Enes Aytek Hi, yes, but unfortunately right now it's only in my native language. I am looking into making an English website too. What would you be looking for in it? Here is a link to my current website just in case: www.dodzo.lt/

[@ronaldvargas73]

I am struggling to focus working on this (ukemi) but my fear of being injured won’t allow me. I am a beginner btw.

[@skyanton8453]

Ronald Vargas Sup I’ve been trying some of the rolls on my own. There is no way of not hurting yourself doing these on your own for the first time, everything is way easier when you have an instructor that shows you what your doing wrong, so that you can improve. The worst injuries I’ve had is, sore shoulders and bruised knees. But as they say no pain no gain. Good luck do your best.

[@mironty]

I struggle so much with 39 and 40 :(

[@pffh9395]

Then the Focus of the ukemi, where is the spirit in the Moment ...

imagine eating mushrooms and watching this video

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Haha 🤣

[@harrygharbharan4525]

Is this darksouls IRL?

[@MartialArtsJourney]

;D

[@putinscat1208]

Is it just me, or is this video flashing in and out?

[@paultrainer4560]

Is it even remotely possible for a person to learn Aikido all on his own? What about people that have no access to a dojo? It is a very unhappy moment to sit and watch on the internet, definitely uncool.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

+paul trainer I am doing my best to provide videos that could help even people with no Dojo to learn. The last video, with tons of details and in-depth explanation is here: bit.ly/1MEeo6Z . And that covers only two basic rolls, from at least 6. But if you are really willing to learn, you can try it! Unfortunately, a lot of Aikido would be very hard to learn through video, but you can try to get some basic knowledge into yourself, and of course, make sure to train carefully. It would be good to check from time to time with someone on your progress. Once more, I'll share, that I am planning to make very detailed videos to help beginners learn, but right now, there doesn't seem to be any other videos like that on KZbin.

[@paultrainer4560]

Good evening, fortunately I have a friend or two to communicate verbally about the concepts and physical activities. One guy is a retired Aikido(er) and he does show me small items. I have managed to get a gi and am sticking to tracksuit with no shoes right now. I really really appreciate the help, I bet there are alot more people that like your videos. dont Stop! Thanks once again for the advise. :)

[@MartialArtsJourney]
