ps1 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I've done rolls in a ton of different ways, including all those shown. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
Kuma Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 I've never done a somersault in my Judo class. It's always been a forward shoulder roll. This link has a good picture.http://www.judo-ch.jp/english/knowledge/ukemi/
JusticeZero Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 If it helps, I flip all over the place and do handstands and the like when I go down, and I would never somersault straight over like that either "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia
Tzu-Logic Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 We practice rolling very similar to the second roll. One of the requirements for purple belt is to be able to do a roll, pop up and hit or kick a pad (held by the instructor or your partner), then do a back roll away. It feels very natural for my body to tuck my head roll shoulder to hip. I was up a 6 foot ladder that started falling back from what it was propped against. I lost my balance and fell off. As soon as I hit the ground went into a back roll. I popped up and I was unharmed. It happened without any conscious thought. I'm sure I would have sprained my ankle badly had I not rolled. A warrior may choose pacifism, all others are condemned to it."Under the sky, under the heavens, there is but one family." -Bruce Lee
bushido_man96 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I have always done variations of the second version, along with break falls, which do make noise. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
vantheman Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Sorry for calling it a "Judo Roll" could not think of anything better to call it. (except a somersault of course) I know a few guys who can pull off the first roll a bit better than a somersault, but this was the best video I could find. Van
sensei8 Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Calling it what you did is good enough to get your point across; it's all good! **Proof is on the floor!!!
cheesefrysamurai Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Judo ukemi is not for stealth, it is soley to prevent damage and absorb shock. the slapping of your arms and feet are necessary.what he is demonstrating is great for stealth but not for the person taking a throw.

JusticeZero Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I've never been completely clear to me why a breakfall should "need" a burst of peak impulse impact force delivered in a way that captures and exaggerates a displacement of air, myself. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia
cheesefrysamurai Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 The slap, whether the hands or feet are absorbing the impact. It gives the energy somewhere to terminate. I have felt what as break fall feels like when it's not done properly.Like your whole body is a solar plexus that got hit. Judoka and aikidoka are experts At falling.
