For everyone interested in Ukemi basics, I have released an online course of 26 fundamental exercises to learn all the basics from a forward, backward roll, to front feather fall and more.

This is amazing. There is much grace in your movements. I'm watching these videos to improve my rolling skills when I fall from my skate - to try to minimise the chances of injury. As a matter of fact, seeing the ease of movement you have, it made me consider undertaking aikido classes not only to improve my falling skills, but to improve my overall body/mind balance, ultimately so I can become a better, more relaxed and graceful skater! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
You are an excellent instructor. I just began Aikido training and my partners did not instruct me to do the falls in a simple to advanced movement. I pulled my shoulder ligament due to trying the fall in a advanced movement that I was not ready for. Thank you so simplifying it for me.
After 60 years me and Frau just started Aikido. Your video are added value. Keep up young man it was fun watching you, Neela and the husky. Wish you all success and happiness.
I took Aikido in high school (after school. Wasn't an elective), and learning to roll properly has actually saved my ass a bunch of times. There have been a few times in my life I would have taken some nasty spills if I hadn't learned to roll properly. Doing it enough so it becomes instinctual is definitely a good skill to have.
I really enjoy your teaching methodology. I learned ukemi largely by incessant repetition in a traditional dojo, and while that made my ukemi very solid, seeing a good progressive teaching method makes it much easier to help pass on the skills.
Wow, today was my first view of this video. I saved it to practice my Ukemi because it seems really clear and well done! I started Aikido 2 weeks ago and I'm really scared of all that parts involving falls :)
I finally have the floor space to roll again and this was the perfect step by step refresher! I loved my quarter dabbling in aikido in college and I'm so happy to find a good source to help me get back into it.
Thank you, I still can't flow with the roll since I still smack the floor with my elbow, or head, or big toe, or just random parts of my body, but it's getting there. I'm not an aikidoka, I need the forward roll for a video. The character falls from the sky and rolls it out once on the ground. You've been very helpful, I appreciate it.
+Teddy yusup It's very similar to parkour roll, although I emphasize rolling through the entire arm, while I see some parkour instructors excluding some parts of it
Thank you for this video! I've been doing aikido for a few months but can't do ukemi very well. I have vertigo so I get very dizzy which is extra frustrating but I will get there someday!
+fatimah z Hi! Thanks for support. It is a hard part and can take a lot of energy and time to master. I am happy this video helps. Also, make sure to check the newest video here: bit.ly/1MEeo6Z . It's an even more in-depth explanation of the first two rolls, specially for new beginners. Maybe it will help too ;) Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions!
Just got back into practicing ukemi and although my technique is correct I was too stiff so it always hurt my shoulder this past year. (I just thought of retraining ukemi on my own. No teacher needed since I was taught Aikido/Daito Ryu 5 years ago). I guess it's very important to have a relaxed body.
osu...thanks for this tutorial. I have only just started studying yoshinkan Aikido. I have been involved in martial arts for quite a few years, the forward roll...im not too bad at but the rest...this has been very helpful. Thank you. Osu
+AikidoSiauliai Osu.. No thank you... Really good bunch people on there. I like to have it like a dojo with etiquette and respect to each other. Look forward to your posting... I have approved it as soon as I saw it... Great... 👍
Really a very good lesson about Ukemi! it's interesting for me because I've practiced judo and they were tought to me differently....so now I have to change something! Bravo ;)
PERFECT VIDEO AND CHANNEL, BUT THE SOUND, FOR ME, NEED TO BE BETTER BECAUSE I´M MEXICAN AND, IT´S A LITTLE HARDEST TO UNDERSTAND WITH THE ECHO SOUND, BUT CONGRATS
I really enjoy your video..but here once you turn your head away from the extended leg, and just afterwards you turned your head on the side of the extended leg... which one is better..I struggle with it. thanks
Hi there, Im wondering what the differences, if any, between the various styles of Aikido. I have practised for a few years in Ki Aikido. As I moved to another part of the country I could not find a Ki Aikido teacher in the area so I tried a couple of different forms but when I told them I did Ki Aikido, they seemed not to like it. Do you have any idea why this is? I thought it might be to do with the fact they all know eachother from the old days and have some disagreements on technique. Your Aikido is very beautiful, I have been trying the backwards roll trying to be graceful and controlled like you. Thanyou for your posts, they are very helpful.
Thanks. Aikido is sometimes in a bit of a mess... Despite being the Art of Peace, many Dojos and styles are not going along together. It many times depends not only on style, but mainly on the teacher and how he introduces his style, although obviously there are influences from tradition too. Many a times instructors who do very gentle, energetic techniques and exercises and stress flow, will be dissatisfied with ones who do quick, rough, painful techniques and vice versa. We could also go into history and details of this, but you can see the image here :)
Yes thank you, it seems so. A new club opened here just yesterday, traditional Aikido, they were very open and seemed unconcerned by my previous time in Ki Aikido. :) I must say though I found Ki Aikido to be truely remarkable. Thanks again
Did about 20 lessons - still can't do the front roll with the knee up (with the knee down have no problems at all). This video is very helpful, but the first tries are ending up with my knee touching the mat, so I'm doing the same roll as before. Need more practice. Will keep trying. :)
Earlier this month I managed to do front roll. My sensei now encourage me to do back roll haha. My class is twice a week. I dont dare to practice at home because the surface not like the one at dojo hahah.
@@irraridz I'm using a sleeping bag with several comforters on top. Works fine for my purpose, just not enough space for side rolls plus cats and my dog like to join me on my mat. lol
First - don't rush, let the body settle after every roll. Then it helps if you do your best to watch at a single point (direction) as long as possible, without causing trouble to your rolls. Last, but not least, it takes some practice, the body slowly get's used to it too :)
How do you deal with motion sickness after practicing rolls? I just started, and I'm having issues with dizziness and nausea. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

I'm very glad to hear this
It's really cool that you still answer comments from this totally different era of your content. Shows your dedication

Thank you for your support and feedback. We are still growing as a channel, but I promise that with time we will invest in better sound equipment.
I will begin to learn aikido tomorrow , it's why I study ukemi basic. Utterly good master Rokas.
Thanks. All the best in your first training!
My tutor you are teaching in very easy way that we can understand all movements .you are doing very well for us.great teacher

It's really interesting how learning something and teaching it can be so different on one level. I am happy you find the video to be supportive
Wow, today was my first view of this video. I saved it to practice my Ukemi because it seems really clear and well done! I started Aikido 2 weeks ago and I'm really scared of all that parts involving falls :)
It's normal to be scared at the beginning and takes time!
I finally have the floor space to roll again and this was the perfect step by step refresher! I loved my quarter dabbling in aikido in college and I'm so happy to find a good source to help me get back into it.
I started to learn Aikido one month ago and your instruction is very clear and specific. Thank you so much. Keep it up!
Thank you, I still can't flow with the roll since I still smack the floor with my elbow, or head, or big toe, or just random parts of my body, but it's getting there.

Glad to hear it! Keep working and try to be as soft as you can when you roll, that should help
Thank you very much for the video - it is really well made, clear, and gives a few excercises that I will be trying out to improve my ukemi.
Excellent video. Restarting aikido after a 14 year hiatus, and this is very helpful. Many thanks!
Glad to hear you are restarting!
Thank you for the video Sensei for the amazing video! I am in aikido and I had a very hard time with ukemi
my pleasure :)
+Teddy yusup It's very similar to parkour roll, although I emphasize rolling through the entire arm, while I see some parkour instructors excluding some parts of it

Gonna be first to comment after the hack, but this video helped me a lot! Good memories :)
That's awesome Jay! Thanks, I really appreciate it
Thank you so much! I was quite stuck with my mae ukemi practice! Looking forward to trying this! 🙏🙏🙏
It may be really hard to learn, but it's definitely possible! Don't give up
Good job! Thank you very much for a very clear step by step ukemi. I just join aikido & i find it very hard to do ukemi. :)

very helpful for ski racing we have to practice falling. Usually at high speed. > 35 mph.
Just got back into practicing ukemi and although my technique is correct I was too stiff so it always hurt my shoulder this past year. (I just thought of retraining ukemi on my own. No teacher needed since I was taught Aikido/Daito Ryu 5 years ago).

osu...thanks for this tutorial. I have only just started studying yoshinkan Aikido. I have been involved in martial arts for quite a few years, the forward roll...im not too bad at but the rest...this has been very helpful. Thank you. Osu
+greg campbell My pleasure! Keep up the training :)
Please look up our page on Facebook "our martial arts our world our family"... And feel free to post... You explain these very well...
+greg campbell Thanks. I've sent the request
+AikidoSiauliai Osu.. No thank you... Really good bunch people on there. I like to have it like a dojo with etiquette and respect to each other. Look forward to your posting... I have approved it as soon as I saw it... Great... 👍
Спасибо. Очень подробно всё показано.
That was fantastic. Many thanks for posting it.
you are a life saviour! thank you so much Sensei
My pleasure :)
How do you do it so smoothly? I always make so much noise while rolling, with my leg tapping on the ground at the end
Try to tense up your abs more. But overall, you just need to practice with the intention to be as silent as you can and you'll get there
Really a very good lesson about Ukemi! it's interesting for me because I've practiced judo and they were tought to me differently....so now I have to change something! Bravo ;)
Great video,some really good tips to take from this

Excellent! Thank you very much.
I really enjoy your video..but here once you turn your head away from the extended leg, and just afterwards you turned your head on the side of the extended leg... which one is better..I struggle with it. thanks
Do you mean for backward fall? If so the answer is away from the extended leg :)
Excellent, thank you 🙏

I get really dizzy after a few rolls. Any tips to overcome this?

My pleasure!
Is this similar to Systema shoulder roll?
You are the Best! Thank's.
Is it the same like parkour roll?
Excelent gracias !
Well done
Thanks
really nice video. but i still struggle with knee hitting floor in ushiro ukemi :/
Just do your best to first place your toes before you land on the knee!
Hi, I'm Masud. I'm from Bangladesh. please, I'd like to see how Aikido's legs move.
Gracias!!

How do you deal with motion sickness after practicing rolls? I just started, and I'm having issues with dizziness and nausea. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
My main advice: take your time in between each roll. Don't rush. Your body will eventually get used to it and you will be able to do it without breaks
@@MartialArtsJourney , thank you.
Great!

Hello. You have interesting videos. What is your native language?
Thanks. It is Lithuanian (Lithuania's language: small country with 3 million people)
me encanto
please can you show ukemi to the left site?
Do you mean the same roll through the other arm?
4:12 mae ukemi
👍🏾
I cant do this move only.If i can do it i will have yellow belt(((
The left backroll is hard
learning how to role is hard
It is, but when you learn it, it actually feels like it was natural all along :)
at first, it hurt so much but thanks to you i can finally do it perfectly
ly phuong Awesome! I am reallly glad to hear this. Thanks for sharing :)
Cortese el pelo gei :v
