Basic Ukemi Progression: Forward Rolls to Standard Breakfalls

[canajaneh]

You NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER roll over your head in aikido ukemi - NEVER! This is a good way to get injured, seriously injured, like a broken neck. Whoever is teaching this method of ukemi, STOP IMMEDIATELY - you are not doing your students any good!

Thank you for this. I'm still trying to learn the basic forward roll and I was missing the down AND through part of the lead hand. This should help save my upper back!

@TheRogueMonk i am not just afreaid after i get over the fear my body seems to not just like to bend itself ..inward and it becomes so incredibly unnatural to go over my arm or shoulder.. i feel like a handicap compared to most people when it comes to this ukemi

[TheRogueMonk]

@TheRogueMonk btw why do you go over the head directly why dont you roll diganoally some of your people roll directly on the head .. and not diagonally
