in our dojo we use this ukemi routine plus some other exercises I created on this base. I never had the occasion to say thank you for uploading this wonderful video that helped so much to grow our dojo! Kokoro kara domo arigato gozaimashita!!! Ciao from Italy ^__^
Mommon...! :) Great to see people that I trained with in Iwama! Not only do they practice some decent Ukemi, Sithu and Mommon are also good training partners and extremely nice guys. Hope to see them again some time! "Thank you very big" for posting! :)
Hallo ich mache Aikido schon seit 15 Jahren und sehe das das erste mal das man auch so weich auf die matte kommen kann werde es im dojo gleich mal ausprobieren und danke an dich das du es ins netz gestellt hast
Very good ukeme. Working on learning this with a friend. No, aikido is not about the locks.... Have to compliment the falls...hope I look that good one day....
@jamespohh your right about locks but i think most people just see this and go wow this ist the greatest thing ever. they dont understand that someone has to work really hard to run a move on someone. and im not talking about just aikido im talking about all forms of martial art. from wrestling, to judo, to jujitsu.
are you talking about the beginning part, when he's rolling sideways?I think its just a beginning exercise, a progression to get to the high falls. As for commonality, I don't think there is a common way to take ukemi. Donovan Waite and his students take ukemi in a similar manner, as do some Japanese university students i've trained with. One of Stefan Stenudd's students takes ukemi like this. And Ellis Amdur promotes a more sideways, across the shoulder blades type of ukemi
Hello . All of my aikido friend thank for watching ukemi vedio. I am from MYANMAR. I am one of instructor in Myanmar Aikido Association. I accept any kind of commend good or bad. I just want to share my vedio for aikido people can do ukemi better than me.
Maung Thant Long time no see, Sayar Maung Maung Thant. I'm studying PhD at the University of Melbourne and found out that we have aikido club at the university. I'm going to start training again tomorrow. :)
its a demonstration. I don't think the "sitting like a toddler" part is a required aspect of his ukemi technique, he's just pausing. with such quiet, low impact ukemi its pretty easy to quickly get back to your feet
@nelsoncards well he's just demonstrating how to do a breakfall. I don't think there's much to wow anyone. Secondly, common sense says stylized formats in the dojo are different in the practical field. Things should be streamlined and modified to fit the scenario. Sometimes it isn't difficult to run a move on someone, due to perfect circumstances, better expertise, opportunity, luck, etc etc. Sometimes it can be but that's why you need to flow. If A didn't work, flow immediately to B, etc.
@echsruler28 Protect himself from what? He's only showing how to do the ukemi. You can just as easily stand up from a breakfall. He protected himself from a broken skull and that's the important thing. That thump is his hand slapping the floor, dissipating the energy of the throw. Despite what you think, breakfalling on concrete isn't bad at all when done right.
@echsruler28 it's not that he isn't doing it right. It's the floor. From the looks and sounds of it, there's either too little canvas or matting to dampen the sound. Plus the floor is probably too hollow underneath
Im sorry but i feel obligated to point you to the fact that with this ukemi the head points to the ground halfway the ukemi because the ukemi is verticale even if the chin touches the chest the neck is still exposed ,if halfway this ukemi you ar being forced fast downwoards it gets dangerous I practised this kind of ukemi for years now im doing ukemi at 45degree angles so the head and neck are never exposed to the ground but the impact is harder to me its a choice to make for oneself
Yahh...this ukemi is nice to see ...but works in Aikido only, sorry to say, specially for those kote gaeshi, or sshow off irimi....cant use for koshi nage, for if u got judo throws , u'll bust your shoulder.....classics ukemi is safer, or the complete fall, but land on whole side body at once, instead of hands first than roll....but yess..it is nice to see and ''cool' in aikido shows
@hhurtta I remember years ago when my Sensei was first introducing my fellow students and me to more advanced ukemi he showed us that last one.... It is indeed awesome :)
@KJGates Indeed Bruce, but only after mastering the techniques and having trained the mind body to react spontaneously in a safe and advantageous way... without that ingrained knowledge you'd fall victim to the first feint. Like a great pianist, only after thousands of hours of practice can he forget the technique and play a piece with real fluency. Miss out that first stage and you're just a heap of lazy flab waiting to be knocked out with a bunch of philosophical talismans for protection.
You teach the ukemi in Hombu Dojo style (with straight legs resting on the mat), inside the Iwama Dojo... Why? Tell me why, please, I don't understand...
Maung Maung,! I will never forget morning keikos at Ibaraki Shibu Dojo, 1000s morning strikes, tanren, pushups, exhausted but excited. Annd the great words "BE STRONG AND CARRY ON" We should do a proper seminar here in London one day my friend. You are gret master!!! Hope to see you soon and make this film with you:) NO PAIN NO GAIN
My ukemi is... the one wthout talking (or typing) (LOL), just keep practicing guys, whatever u all have chosen, its the best for u, btw, great vid, love this stuffs
@nelsoncards People forget that true martial arts techniques are completely spontaneous, and do not adhere to this or that form. Nobody will try anything, it will just happen, as soon as somebody tries, then they have already lost the way. Thats why Samurai sit in Zazen for hours, to clear the mind thoughts. So they act spontaneously and are not inhibited by preconceived notions of wining or losing, or inhibited by precognitive thoughts prior to a spontaneous strike to heart of the matter
@Elberoin this is Shibu Dojo in Iwama, Iribaki Prefecture Japan. It is O ' Sensei's old dojo in Iwama. It is opposite the Aiki Jinja (shrine), which houses the Aiki - Kami. O ' Sensei in his latter years, spent much of his time in Iwama, this is where he retired. He also spent a lot of time travelling. Saito Sensei was the head instructor and guardian of the Dojo and Jinja and, Waza too. Hence Iwama Style Aikido. Uchideshi stay costs 1000 yen per day - do it !!!
@nelsoncards Uh no. That's why strikes are used in tandem in Aikido to draw the limbs out for a lock. That's why like all grapplers, you close the gap. It's not all wrists. It's also head and body throws. And furthermore, you will be grabbing as well and with each grab your wrists will get entangled in a lock. I know of BJJ fighters that use tactics like to make their opponents pay.
Just to clarify, sitting for two seconds is not part of the ukemiwaza, nor is talking to the camera or doing it slowly with a compliant nage. You need to learn this ukemi in stages first as shown here.
@lane7330 by ground or floor I think you mean hard solid surface like concrete and the like, if you meant that then yes it does works but it does requires a lot of practice.
superbe démonstration pleine de fluidité et de respect MERCI
in our dojo we use this ukemi routine plus some other exercises I created on this base. I never had the occasion to say thank you for uploading this wonderful video that helped so much to grow our dojo! Kokoro kara domo arigato gozaimashita!!! Ciao from Italy ^__^
Sensei, you are so smooth and supple. I must stretch and practice more. Thank you for posting this great ukemi lesson !
This man falls like a feather...simply superb
Mommon...! :)
Great to see people that I trained with in Iwama! Not only do they practice some decent Ukemi, Sithu and Mommon are also good training partners and extremely nice guys. Hope to see them again some time!
"Thank you very big" for posting! :)
Excelente demostración y enseñanza de caídas de bajo impacto, "sin ruido"
Donovan Sensei always says, to learn more aikido is necesary learn more ukemis!!!
No ukemis No aikido!
Greatings from Aikido Musubi Badalona (Spain)
Nice balance and fluent rolls.
Makes me think twice about jumping for a kote gaeshi. .

@jamespohh your right about locks but i think most people just see this and go wow this ist the greatest thing ever.
they dont understand that someone has to work really hard to run a move on someone. and im not talking about just aikido im talking about all forms of martial art. from wrestling, to judo, to jujitsu.
@RmaxTwice yeah..we definitely need a lot of training to do that thing.thanks for replying..

U have a beautiful dojo.
Très bonne approche des ukémis, à mettre en pratique régulière...
a very interesting way of teaching break falls
awesome ukemi it is realy well made.
true aikido ukemi
awesome
thanks
this guy is my hero
Taped in Japan. Maung Maung Thant is demonstrating the ukemi and currently lives and teaches Aikido in Yangoon, Myanmar(Burma).
in Aikido are many types of ukemi, including specific ukemi for koshi nage very similar to judo ones
素晴らしい受け身の練習方法をありがとう
So this is the art of making aikido look effective by throwing yourself around.
This is called "neko ukemi". Very very cool. Can´t do it myself, I continue to slam down noisily :-)
are you talking about the beginning part, when he's rolling sideways?I think its just a beginning exercise, a progression to get to the high falls. As for commonality, I don't think there is a common way to take ukemi. Donovan Waite and his students take ukemi in a similar manner, as do some Japanese university students i've trained with.

where can i find more videos from this master ?
Hi is very soft and supple.
@KJGates thats why martial arts are amazing. to me atleast
Excelente como instructivo para aprender a caer!
This is called soft break fall. It looks cool, but it does not always work and I am not sure how safe it is.
10!!!
Gracias
Great!
@lane7330 your welcome!
@3ly-I am definitely to old to roll around on the floor like that. But thanks.
@AmericanAztec915 -- They have built themselves up with years of judo.
wouldn't your arm bones shatter if you slammed it on concrete surface like that?
Ukemi is not doing for pavement or concrete.. Its for aikido practioner to safely backfall or break fall..
Adorei este video, e ´principalmente a técnica do sensei em demonstrar com cair, maravilhoso ver este video
The very beginning one, I used to do it as a kid. I think it was called the "Teddy bear roll" back then though. Silly PE teachers :P
smooth like jagger
Im sorry but i feel obligated to point you to the fact that with this ukemi the head points to the ground halfway the ukemi because the ukemi is verticale even if the chin touches the chest the neck is still exposed ,if halfway this ukemi you ar being forced fast downwoards it gets dangerous
I practised this kind of ukemi for years now im doing ukemi at 45degree angles so the head and neck are never exposed to the ground but the impact is harder
to me its a choice to make for oneself
Sure, I'm happy to share what little I know and my own experiences. Private message sent, this comment character count is annoying.
o my got perfect
Yahh...this ukemi is nice to see ...but works in Aikido only, sorry to say, specially for those kote gaeshi, or sshow off irimi....cant use for koshi nage, for if u got judo throws , u'll bust your shoulder.....classics ukemi is safer, or the complete fall, but land on whole side body at once, instead of hands first than roll....but yess..it is nice to see and ''cool' in aikido shows

It is indeed awesome :)
@igiboy1979 sorry, it seems to me the Iwama Dojo, but isn't.
There is a difference about falls of Aikikai and falls of Iwama Ryu. It's all.
yes it is.
@KJGates Indeed Bruce, but only after mastering the techniques and having trained the mind body to react spontaneously in a safe and advantageous way... without that ingrained knowledge you'd fall victim to the first feint.

どうもありがとうございました!!
amasing!!!!
thats easy
those are the basics of aikido ;)
Great! Oss!
Man I'd love to learn Aikido but I'm too old to start that.
it looks like his just randomly rolling across the floor xD hahaha
Schöne Darstellung
@terkelruler That's funny!
@chiluzzdia first he would have to control my wrist. and he couldnt gain wrist control on me or anyone else that easily. its a show art for god sakes
You teach the ukemi in Hombu Dojo style (with straight legs resting on the mat), inside the Iwama Dojo... Why? Tell me why, please, I don't understand...

1:26 💕🖤

Investigate Aikido a little. Educate yourself and I am sure you will change your mind.
Maung Maung,! I will never forget morning keikos at Ibaraki Shibu Dojo,
1000s morning strikes, tanren, pushups, exhausted but excited.
Annd the great words "BE STRONG AND CARRY ON" We should do a proper seminar

Were is your dojo located? Do you have a website?
OSU!

That's some very nice ukemi. The guy looks like he's made out of rubber... Thanks for posting this.
Awesome video!
If you don't mind my asking, why does he always keep his legs apart when he lands?
absolutely excellent ukemi..
cómo hace para mantener el control de su peso en la caida?
Do you have a website?
OSU!
I think maaaaybe you are missing the point here.
Nice technical methods.
Soft as a cat too.
where? can you guide me .This guy is awesome dont u think?
very innovative! is this ukemi from Miles Kessler Sensei?
my question is:does it work on the ground or floor?
Really? As in "cat" ukemi? Interesting name :P
