Aikido Ukemi Tutorial / Advanced Ukemi / Soft High Fall

[@phonecaller1751]

Am still with aikido for 2 years now and was looking for an alternative to taking a breakfall to lessen the impact on my body. Then I found your ukemi video and I like your version of the soft high fall!

[@Seadiver-]

Just want to say thanks for all the great videos you put out. I am from France and I have been following your videos for a while. Your teaching methods are clear and easy to follow. Also I find (but who you would not) your views on Aikido inspiring and great to motivate new people to try. So congratulations for all your work, you seem truly passionate ans this shows in your tutorials. I would not be surprised if more people are going to follow your blog. Sorry your Dojo is a bit far away from my city (Lyon) but maybe one day. Thanks again and keep doing what you do.

Hello Simon, and thank you for sharing! Your words mean a lot to me. Hearing that the videos are helpful is the greatest reward. I understand that Lithuania is not next by, but if you are ever in the area, you are always welcome to visit!

Greetings from Mexico, thanks for this tutorial, I am an Aikido practitioner and I already do all the exercises for the breakfall but at the moment of executing it I panic and it scares me and I land on my back but thanks to you I already observed how to take a good position and posture to make a good brearfall, thanks again

[@renegalindo2000]

for shihonage is actually very difficult , that deserve a video justs for shihonage

[@thekeaneymachine6198]

I tried doing these in my last class..unfortunately fear holds me back.. any tips?

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Hi, which movement was specifically hard for you?

[@thekeaneymachine6198]

Well I think it's movement of actually falling forward. I only started in June 2016 so I'm quite new.

[@Hogruul]

Try to imagine yourself to be as a wheel: - If the ukemi is from standing position, the "wheel" is supposed to have a larger radius (you set the radius by having your hands a bit more apart from each other). - If the ukemi is from crouched position, of course the "wheel" will have a smaller radius. Don't forget about not touching the tatami with your head. Try to look backwards when you start doing the mae-ukemi. And one more thing... try to get your hips to be soft; it's harder to control your movements if your hips are stiff. All comes with practice. These are my "2 cents" about the matter and I hope it helps. Good luck.

[@thekeaneymachine6198]

Thank you very much!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Hi once more, and sorry that it took so long. Sometimes comments get lost in KZbin. You can start by practicing on a softer mat until you get comfortable there and then move on closer and closer to a regular tatami. It's important that you feel comfortable as you develop and learn at your pace. Also, make sure you use your second hand to support your weight of the body, that helps you roll safely and feel that something is supporting you. Lastly, do your best to let yourself simply roll, since fear only adds tension and that does't help rolling. Let me know if you need more help. Sincerely, Rokas
