Giving Better Ukemi
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2023
- Nearly all martial arts involve partner training. Your training partner can either help you become stronger and more effective or they can give you a false and delusional sense of confidence in your ability. It takes skill and experience to give the kind of meaningful ukemi that strengthens and polishes your partner's skills. It's not mindless stiff resistance. It's not taking fancy falls. A constructive uke must have maturity and the physical and mental ability to give their partner what they need to grow.
Non-resistive training is perfectly appropriate for beginners or when you're ironing out a new technique. But when you get a little experience you should work on having an increasingly dynamic training experience with your partner. It doesn't have to be rough or injurious. It just requires staying focused and present with skill, physical conditioning, sensitivity and intelligence.

Practicing with pressure really has helped refine our technique. Thank you sensei for your teachings!
Thanks so much for these insights. I have practiced martial arts for over 50 years but love and teach Aikido. This issue of weak or silly attacks from uke is needed to be addressed. I ask my students to do ukemi as if you are an intelligent warrior as opposed to a training dummy....LOL
Thank you. Well put! Progressive and systematic exposure to failure is the real educator.
this sensei explaining about "metsuke" = focusing eye training , "kamae" = mental posture, "ma ai" = distancing, how to focusing "kogeki", and how to be a good "uke" = receiver
Impressive
Good analysis, but the answer for iriminage is not to cut so much down as across so that the head naturally falls to the hollow of the shoulder. This requires that tori have the shoulder close enough to receive the head, so eliminate the gap. The result is that the head is lifted by the shoulder and not the bicep as one so often sees. The arm merely points and the shoulder appears to follow, in fact it leads because the slack is taken out and the body movement does the rest. It is also safer since the neck isn't being remotely clotheslined.
Great point. That's very much where the student ended up after around the 18:00 mark. Solutions that develop in training are very much the result of problems presented by an active partner.
Irimi nage day is rough 😅
It can be! 😂
Some people hate to train with me for such help for them 😅
If they feel that we are training sincerely and for mutual good they should not feel bad. If they feel we are humiliating them or boosting our ego then of course they won't like that. If we are the one with more experience we must set the tone to always make the interaction constructive, like a good coach.
@@GreenwoodAikido yes, sure, but most of aikidokas are so used to no pressure they feel out of water when they find it.
Good thing is when they find pressure, they automaticly use the pressure themself. And they give more work when I am tori.
In the end there is only few uke which train with me gladly. And they are (for me) those most valuable.
On the other hand not all times I need pression. Sometimes I need inactive uke to focus on my inner elements like some specific movement or stance.
I would be happy to find aikido dojo where lesson is structured like in bjj:
1. warmup
2. Intensive technical exercises for muscle memory
3. Techniques, no pressure
4. Pressure testing of the techniques
5. Jiu waza / free fight
I agree completely. This is very much the model I am introducing. There has to be etiquette, rules and dojo culture to provide this level of relative freedom and safety. For example, in BJJ training you don't stomp the groin as you pass the guard or strike the face. Other styles have their own particular rules (boxing, judo, wrestling, etc.) that allow practitioners to focus on the skills specific to their art. Aikido should be no different. This lets us train with greater freedom and intensity - and freedom from excessive injury. Historically aikido practice has been only done up through the 3rd level in your outline. We both obviously see, along with many others, that this has been a problem. One that I am attempting to make some small contribution to remedy in a way that is constructive and allows us to express the salient features of aikido.
There is no ukemi here, as there is no aiki and no kokyu.
It is possible that those words have come to mean something different to you than to me.
@@GreenwoodAikido some practicioner only see "ukemi" just art of falling or rolling. but yes im agree from your explaining
