Aikido - Life In Harmony

[TheRogueMonk]

i really need help doing ukemi after 3 years i still cannot do it

i wonder what i might be doing wrong .

@TheRogueMonk i'm learning(worng to say training because you learn about harmony and piece) aikido for 9 years i can help you by giving you advice: Do not think of ukemi as just a breakfall. It is a much bigger thing than this: it is a description of your response to either nage-waza (throwing technique) or to osaewasa (pinning technique). The breakfall (in the case of nage-waza) is just the end part of the process that stops you falling and injuring yourself.

@TheLussj i already know that it is to me a symbol of aikido itself.. to me it means if you can do ukemi it means you could be able to do aikido also..

to me ukemi is the same as aikido.. becasue to me it has some core principals of aikido itself .. howeer i myself have a hard time to do it.

terrible!

[tenshinage77]

Can you elaborate on that.

[MrUeshiba]

@tenshinage77 : the picture of Yoshimitsu Yamada is shown, instead of the late Senta Yamada (at 1:20)...

Also the grades mentionned don't make: sankyu is yellow belt, nikyu is blue belt and ikkyu is white belt? The producer should have checked those basic facts.
