  • とても参考になります。

  • 2:27 Gif file.. For the love of god GGGIIIIFFFFF

  • This video is truly amazing - I wish I could breakfall like this!

  • どうもありがとうございました!!

  • we learn watching your movie and rolling in our dojo lol. but its very difficult. GJ!!!!thanks!!!

  • 17 people are afraid to roll...

  • o my got perfect

  • my question is:does it work on the ground or floor?

  • @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.

  • @RmaxTwice yeah..we definitely need a lot of training to do that thing.thanks for replying..

  • @lane7330 your welcome!

  • Oh thank you! I have to practice :S

  • Donovan Sensei always says, to learn more aikido is necesary learn more ukemis!!!

    No ukemis No aikido!

    Greatings from Aikido Musubi Badalona (Spain)

  • Nice demo!

  • He really goes with the flow.

  • where can i find more videos from this master ?

  • Nice balance and fluent rolls.

    Makes me think twice about jumping for a kote gaeshi. .

  • Comment removed

  • Just the ticket - thank you :-)

  • Good job!

  • Great!

  • i can do all the ukemis xD im 5 kiu 

  • ok!

    

  • 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

  • Wonderful illustration of progressive ukemi exercises.

  • realy awesome ukemi , also your dojo is very beautifull. i wish i could train in a dojo like that.

  • 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....

  • neat

  • this guy is my hero

  • Ok, the last one is nothing short of awsome! Comes really into use with more straightforward and speedy iriminages.

  • @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 :)

  • Ukemi is the way I roll!

  • @terkelruler That's funny!

  • nice dojo

  • @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 !!!

  • 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

  • true aikido ukemi

    awesome

    thanks

  • He was not demonstrating how to land in a protective position. He was only showing how to go to the floor. I love how people who have no understanding of an art can comment on an instructor's performance. I've never studied Aikido and I can see what he was doing.

    I love you keyboard warriors.

  • He was not demonstrating how to land in a protective position. He was only showing how to go to the floor. I love how people who have no understanding of an art can comment on an instructor's performance. I've never studied Aikido and I can see what he was doing.

    I love you keyboard warriors.

  • awesome !! I've been looking for this youtube video forever. Someone posted it on Facebook, but not youtube video

  • How is this silent? Thump, thump, thump. Every thump you hear is magnified as pain on the concrete. Also, when he lands he is in no position to protect himself. This is pathetic.

  • @echsruler28 Internet warrior is mad. 

  • @iconfusedchineseguy Aren't I though? Of course I am, people putting this on here when society will come here to learn, and what will they receive? Poor teaching of improper techniques.

  • @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.

  • @jamespohh That was my implication from the beginning. He isn't doing it right. Hence the noise.

  • @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

  • it should work on the streets! and if you don´t know that ukemi, just do the ko-ukemi...

  • very helpful.thank you sensei,i wish i could practice at your dojo.

  • awesome ukemi it is realy well made.

  • this is great!!! very very nice ukemi sensei..

  • nice progression from very basic components to more complex ukemi. Thanks for the good video!

  • U have a beautiful dojo.

  • @Attilahollo9

    ...it´s the old dojo from O-Sensei in Iwama .

    The Aikidoka is Uchi-Deshi in the dojo. Head of the dojo is Isoyama-Sensei.

    As far as I know he learned this ukemi style from Miles Kessler (Tel Aviv)

  • Ukemi is not doing for pavement or concrete.. Its for aikido practioner to safely backfall or break fall..

  • 10!!!

     Gracias

  • elegant display, will be exploring it more myself and teaching it in class. Looks reminiscent of Donovan Waite Sensei.

    thanks

  • very perfect...

  • thanks

  • buena la tecnica de caida es mas eficiente al levantarse gracias a la inercia del moviniento circular del cuerpo

  • Adorei este video, e ´principalmente a técnica do sensei em demonstrar com cair, maravilhoso ver este video

  • it looks like his just randomly rolling across the floor xD hahaha

  • nice!

  • very innovative! is this ukemi from Miles Kessler Sensei?

  • 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

  • hahahaha why don't u practice falling over.. I'll be with u in a minute lol

  • Fantastic explanation and demonstration. We will be doing this in class.

  • this are great techniques great deal of respect ...

  • Innovative training techniques for those of us who are progressing. Thank you.

  • cómo hace para mantener el control de su peso en la caida?

  • 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

  • I know, but he also begins from that position.

    And it doesn't seem like he is pausing.

    Not to mention that he leans on his shoulder in such a strange manner.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but that seems veeeery uncommon.

  • 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

  • I mean the part when he places his arm inversely sideways.

    It just seems to me as if the shoulder would take far too much weight that way. I just tried it and really don't get the intention of the exercise.

    But you are probably right. I have only studied Kobayashi Aikido up to now.

    Could you maybe explain though?

  • Sure, I'm happy to share what little I know and my own experiences. Private message sent, this comment character count is annoying.

  • great video thanks for sharing

  • Comment removed

  • great way to learn! i wish i was taught this way.

  • nice dojang

  • Beautiful!

  • Excelente demostración y enseñanza de caídas de bajo impacto, "sin ruido"

  • 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

  • aiki

  • very nice!! detailed practice....

    almost the same like donovan waite shihan's style in ukemi.

  • Like...?

  • This ukemi is alone for the practice in the dojo, for the street there are very good falls in aikid

  • o'Sensie never said anything about Aikido not being a Martial Art... What bullshit...

  • o'sensie? is that some kind of irish guy? maybe you actually should read ueshiba's works and realize what he said about actual combat, and also read his views on religion, specifically his involvement with omotokyo and his end of the world belief that japan and the us are destined to blow each other up

  • You clearly know nothing about the Martial Art Aikido or O'Sensie. Why do people find the need to comment on somthing they know nothing about.....

  • who is this o'sensie? maybe you should learn how to properly research and then learn japanese before you comment to someone who was studying martial arts years before you were even born

  • O'Sensie is the shortened name given when talking about Sensie Ueshiba Morihei. You would know this if you studied Aikido. You would know what O'Sensie is if you studied any type of Martial art. You dont know anything about me so dont tell me you have been studying martial art since i was born what rubbish. I have used pretty much every breakfall in this clip, in real life situations and in the dojo so I know they work. Dont really care what other people think or say. including yourself

  • really wow so sensie is this word, which is funny because the combination of letter si hasn't existed in japanese since the 16th century when the change to shi occurred, but i guess you're the expert it's sensie and not sensei, what do i know i only speak japanese and have studied martial arts for 23 years and have a degree in philosophy with a concentration in eastern religions focusing specifically on the omotokyo cult ueshiba was a part of, but go ahead and tell me more expert

  • please oh wise aikido expert explain the relationship of ueshiba's neoshinto omotokyo affiliation to the aum shinrikyo cult and their purpose for the gas attacks on the subways. i would love to hear this, and please explain it in japanese because your japanese is so much better than mine since i didn't know this term sensie, i guess we're using archaic japanese, so maybe 拙者は馬鹿で御座有る

  • I never claimed that i knew everything. I DO however know that the 1st thing they teach in Aikido is not 2 get cocky. U were the 1 that didnt know who O'Sensei was. So i got 2 letters mixed up big deal Im not a friggin english or Japanese teacher.

  • Again ive used these rolls in and out of the dojo and they have worked perfectly so you must be doing somthing wrong. Im sick of debating with tossa's like you that come in a preach like they know everything. If they dont work for you find somthing that does. Dont put Maung's work down. They teach you that in Aikido to. Oh but you would know wouldnt you O'learnered one.

  • theres no debate, i'm right you're wrong. you also were too stupid to realize what i said, i know a lot more about ueshiba than you, i know the real history of aikido, i know what ueshiba intended. try doing real research, learn japanese, learn about real bujutsu. aikido is a somatic meditation not a martial art, ueshiba emphasized this after his seclusion in iwama, but of course you don't know that

  • Thats because i dont want to listen to you. Thats not what i have researched and thats certainly not what i have learnt from my Sensei. U are big headed & i dont care what you have learn t or what piece of paper u have on u wall that makes u think u can preach to everyone. Despite all this. Aikido is now taught as a Martial art ( a very affective 1) & back 2 the original debate before u went bullshitting on about how much u know. These breakfalls etc r very useful. Maby u r doing somthing wrong.

  • please present the police records of all these fights you've been in since you need to use your aikido so often, also you should quit your aikido classes sinc eyou obviously don't understand the art since you're putting yourself in situations where you need to use it so often. you do understand that someone who studies real martial arts like i do can see right through your lies and this bullshit about you using these techniques in real life.

  • I dont need to prove anything to you mate. I am well aware that if you train AIkido you should not be getting into fights. Different story if you are a Police Officer and part time Security Guard. Anways I think thats the end of our lil talk.

  • please give me your name and badge number and i'll check that with the police department you claim to work for. i told you i can see through lies.

  • Bud i dont have anything 2 prove 2 u. I certainly don't have 2 identify myself 2 u. Again the initial debate was would these breakfalls work in real life and the answer is yes. They wouldn't teach them all over the world if they didn't. I suggest you are doing them wrong. Again i think thats the end of our little chat. I have nothing to prove or say to you or anyone else for that matter cept these breakfalls DO WORK. You come to your own deluded conclusion. End of story.

  • so whats your badge number and what police force are you with you didn't answer that.

  • Can you not read or are you retarded. Im not answering any stupid question you throw at me. I see you enjoy playing childish games so ill leave it there.

  • name and badge number please. you are a police officer after all right? i mean you wouldn't like me to contact your aikido dojo and tell them one of their students is lying on youtube and casting aikido in a poor light, it's also a crime to impersonate an officer in most countries, so whats your name and badge number?

  • You are retarded. You dont know me, where i live, where my Dojo is. Infact you dont really know much. Like i said i would be stupid to post my ID and name on this ww forum. No more dude ive moved on so should you. Like i said i have nothing to prove to you or anyone else. If you don't believe me then so be it no skin off my nose. Goodbye

  • i know lots of things, like about your comments on the zac efron video, did you try learning aikido because people attack your for your sexuality?

  • OFFS you are a persistant little fuck. I DONT CARE WHAT YOU THINK. So you can search shit WOW... Yeah im gay and im not ashamed to say it. Aikido is taught as part of police training as its used widely in handcuffing techniques. Enough dude i cant be bothered with your childish games anymore.

  • so whats your badge number and name officer?

  • What part of im not playing your childish games dont you get?

  • i think you need more training

  • Not playing your childish games

  • Just out of intrest if we can put our little debate aside.... What would YOU use instead for a breakfall/ukemi??

  • i would use ukemi just not that ukemi, the ukemi used in my system comes from real martial arts not practiced on a mat

  • That still does not answer my question. What ukemi are you talking about there are many different varieties in this clip. The idea of training on the mat is so that you can get the feel of it. Most of the senior members in my dojo do it on a hard surface. Your right doing it on a mat does not prepeare you for the real thing. What martial art do you practice?

  • Thank you very much guys, this was a fantastic and crazy dialogue. I still have tears in my eyes. If you don´t mind ,I would love to use it in my aikido book. please write me if its ok for you. Please go on, I want to read more of this little kind of "love story. Best regards from Berlin

  • lamarzocco87 on 18-Jan-09 most of them r so hawtt

  • This ukemi has no purpose. All ukemi training should be done with out hands. This is more like judo - it destroys your hands if you do it on the street.

    And in keiko you dont need this kind of ukemi to train techniques - this kind of ukemi takes the focus away from the relastic application!

    But its good to know anyway...

  • Awesome video!

  • wouldn't your arm bones shatter if you slammed it on concrete surface like that?

  • The reason why we fall like this in aikido is so that we don't maim our training partners. In real life, techniques like kotegaeshi at 1:45 would break the wrist or, at the least, tear tendons when done at speed. I would know because I made a mistake one time and ended up tearing a tendon in my friend's wrist...It can be dangerous if you're not careful and paying attention, but training accidents happen

  • 1:45 kote gaeshi can be escaped with yokonagare theres no reason to jump in the air and land like that. you will die in real life. this ukemi is pointless.

  • that break falling is great, but the fact he can fall like that on his own makes me question how effective the techniques are.. tho i have never tried aikido

  • Hi is very soft and supple.

  • well, when he drops your ass on the pavement your going to wish you knew ukemi.

  • this ukemi won't help you on the street. hitting the ground with your hand breaks your hand. theres much better ukemi in jujutsu ryu ha

  • Rofl, when you fall straight on your back? You don't "hit" the ground with anything btw.

  • @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

  • @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.

  • @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.

  • @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.

  • @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

  • @KJGates thats why martial arts are amazing. to me atleast

  • @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.

  • Learning how to fall down properly > broken wrists

  • Investigate Aikido a little. Educate yourself and I am sure you will change your mind.

  • Yeah, let's see more videos of this guy, great great great!

  • where? can you guide me .This guy is awesome dont u think?

  • It´s perfect ukemi I have ever seen.

    Thanks a lot. I´ll try to do the same.

    And please, I would like to see more aikido performances from this Sensei.

    Congratulations.

  • This is one of best ukemi that I have seen. Not even with O sensei's students have I seen ukemi done so softly.

  • just phantastic thanks a lot

    looks so easy, but for other martial artist probably difficult, because as I think the Aikido timing is in his body. but we have to practise this..

  • Wow! That's great! Keep it up!

  • the best ukemi training tips I have EVER seen.....

  • This is really amazing...i ve never seen such Ukemi before...pliz send more videos for this sensei

  • This is called "neko ukemi". Very very cool. Can´t do it myself, I continue to slam down noisily :-)

  • Really? As in "cat" ukemi? Interesting name :P

  • damnnnn...aweosme sensei...please post any more videos for this guy, he is really perfect in teaching

  • Sin duda un excelente video instructivo... un Ukemi que se ve suave pero efectivo. Comienzo a practicarlo ya !!!

  • Amazing! best ukemi i have everseen! congrats!

  • this is so fantastic! he feels with his hand where the mat is and then nuzzles onto the ground in such a soft way i have never seen before. congrats! i would like to see him do it in flow (when standing up again after rolling).

  • Very good class!

  • Sweet! I must do this. I have only done hard Ukemi. This soft Ukemi for practice seems very very useful! Thank you!

  • wow great step by step skill progression. THANKS!

  • Nice technical methods.

    Soft as a cat too.

  • great exercises!

  • I think maaaaybe you are missing the point here.

  • i may be not a good aikidoka...just a beginner, but i do know is if you are training so relax in ukemi you will make it habit...and if you have '2 seconds' sitting in the mat after ukemi( without facing the nage)...i will use that '2 seconds' to kick you...

    but i do agree ukemi have to be done in a soft and effective way...

  • 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.

  • well...if u say so...

  • That's awesome ukemi skillz0r. Great video, thanks for posting. Gotta try this out in the dojo :)

  • like a rubber,great flexybility !!!very nice video &very good attitude from participants.gogatulations

  • That's some very nice ukemi. The guy looks like he's made out of rubber... Thanks for posting this.

  • danke so usefull. for the next years.

  • this way to learn ukemi will be very usefull in my dojo, thank you nnsmt, five stars...

    Héctor, from Argentina...

  • just like a baby

  • Damn! He's good, that is actually very difficult.

  • Wow. Very nice video really

  • where did you tape this video? what's the name and dojo of this person?

  • Taped in Japan. Maung Maung Thant is demonstrating the ukemi and currently lives and teaches Aikido in Yangoon, Myanmar(Burma).

  • do you have his email in birmany?

  • This is called soft break fall. It looks cool, but it does not always work and I am not sure how safe it is.

  • Thanks for posting this video. I began learning this ukemi 20 yrs ago when I was 40. Kanai-Sensei taught it. I had some old injuries that made my ukemi painful - I thought i might have to stop doing Aikido. This ukemi gave me back my life in Aikido. Now I can fall out of any technique without hurting my old injuries. It has been a godsend for an old man like me. Thanks again.

  • génial !! très bon enseignement sur le ukemi waza dont on parle peu alors que c'est un des fondements importants en aikido...

    thanks a lot!! ^^

  • i like your teaching

  • nothing interesing, because he doesn't stands up to a position after he falls down

  • Yah!! Maung Maung!
