Ukemi - Front falls

[astalavistaninjaisth]

i think its Hombu ukemi

[joaoopaulors]

Here, in the dojo were i training, we call this ukemi "mae hanten"

[Sam7EEE]

this is how they protect themselves when they fall

[namayake]

What's preventing you from crushing your genitals using this technique? It's pretty obvious you're "rolling" over that area...

[kototamabushi]

They are no problem, the legs are a little open so is space enough for genitals. Different is the case in the fall from a koshinage, you must be carefull and avoid the "nutcracker" effect between legs....

@kototamabushi True my friend

[MarioGiMo]

Heyyy guys !!no force needed at all, just practica, it's like it takes some confidence, and you won't hit your knees if you just relax and try to get your toes touch your head, and not trying to land on your feet, that's it

[doysentidoatuvida]

Very helpfull

[doysentidoatuvida]

Very Helpfull

[Aur0rah]

please notify me WHAT IS THIS TECHNIQUE CALLED?

SAME WITH THE BACKWARDS FALL.

[MusicNazis]

I have no idea - we call it "the worm"

[tgnrogue]

In our dojo, and a few others I have trained at, it is reffered to as the "Floating Leaf".

[5hinRyu]

so true

[Aur0rah]

i think its mae choko ukemi

[MrTokki]

Um I have a question about these front falls. It is hard for me to do these because my upper body strength is not that great. I can't keep myself up very long to break the fall. Is there a way to practice these? Or do I need to build up my upper body strength?

[The0Keyboard0Kid]

@MrTokki You don't need upper body strength. You are falling onto your front, but as you hit the floor, you do a sort of worm movement. You don't have to support yourself at any point.

[DreamOfTurtles]

Muito obrigado. Bela técnica.

Aliás, vocês fazem Yoshinkan Aikido?

[opti2007]

wouldn't you fall on your knees or something doing that? I'm still learning

[MtTraveler]

Wow thank you very much, the way I learned to breakfall was an hour of koshi with a tall nage

[karlphillip]

Again, very good :)
