Kusotare Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Most Jujutsu / Judo clubs worth their salts will have ukemi as part of their regular conditioning drills.Perhaps most karate clubs practice each type a few times - but ukemi in a jujutsu dojo is very tough with literally hundreds of techniques performed - as just a warm up.You soon realise that the hardest part isn't hitting the floor - It's getting back up - over and over and over again...The ultimate workout...K Usque ad mortem bibendum!

Agreed. When I partcipate in the 300 workout with the Aikido club, we do lots of rolling and breakfalling, after a bunch of other stuff. Its tough work, for sure.

bushido_man96 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yes, Ukemi skills are vitally important to the practitioners of any style of the MA. No matter the level of experience/knowledge, I'd say that the lack of embracing Ukemi is akin to a airplane pilot not knowing how to fly; the end result won't be a favorable one.As practitioners of the MA, we need to experience every aspect of what we're learning or have already learnt. Can't appreciate the pros and cons of the MA unless one EXPERIENCES said technique, no matter how minute or complex.Imho. Wouldn't ukemi be more like landing, instead of flying...?? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
