Till now (in real situation on a slippery pavement, balcony, wet rocks) I only used backwards, forward and sidewards judo falls. Worked perfectly. On concrete.
I don't believe I could make good enough ukemi when the ground would be suddenly and unexpectedly taken from under me. Ukemis are awesome and I like doing them, but fo' real you need and use the most uncomplicated option. Even subconsciously.
Aikido ukemi replay fun. 0:05 Forward roll from standing 0:08 Backwards roll from standing 0:16 Right side jumping fall - closed view 0:20 Right side jumping fall - open view 0:25 Backwards fall 0:31 Front fall 0:35 Front 180 fall Wish we could see other falls. I wonder if there's such a thing as an ukemi competition. If there was, I'm betting this guy would get a medal! It's just a crying shame that Aikido is not more standardised. We should all be taught these kind of breakfalls. Thanks!
i am judoka and bjj guy, but this ukemi from aikido is pretty cool stuff, especially the side ukemi starting at 0:17 that is more than cool and seems very useful to prevent injury which judo and bjj do not have. great technique and smooth as silk. nice stuff.
really smooth roll, but as a parkour practitioner Im not impressed seeing that its done on soft mats, with minimal force downwards/forwards, we traceurs roll on concrete/asphalt to reduce the impact from 2-3 meter drops, forcing us to learn the movement to 101% in order to do it on a hard, sometimes uneven or even covered with debris surface.
@dolippa I get your point but.. Isn't this for martial arts / fighting? I guess parkour rolls would be helpful to students wanting to fight on top of houses.
I don't want to start an argument, but as a user of both, ukemi aren't used for the same reasons parkour or free running rolls are. In parkour, the aim is to fall from a large height safely and reduce impact on the body. In aikido and other soft arts, the aim is to protect the receiver of the technique from being hurt as they are thrown. Better to roll than faceplant. The principle is the same in both: to decelerate a fall and spread impact across a wider surface area.
There is no argument because we're both saying the same thing.
dolippa was "not impressed" because he was comparing these breakfalls to his parkour breakfalls. There is no comparison. I was being sarcastic about fighting on rooftops.

@aikidoka Is this a demonstration of an exercise? Or is it like part of a meditation? I think Aikido in interesting, my guitar teacher practices it and I want to educate myself about it a little more.
In Aikido there is a lot of practice on a partner, and most of this practice involves throwing the other person to the ground. So the person that the technique is being practiced on (uke), must learn these (ukemi) so they don't get injured during practice when they are thrown around.
But, these techniques are designed to minimise the impact exerted on the person being thrown. For example, in this video you can see that the demonstrator slaps his arm on the ground with each fall - this is to spread the impact over his body instead of the impact being concentrated on his back/side so to speak.
very nice ukemi!! only the last one is strange. You keep your toes up and land them into the mat. Imagine if somebody giving power into a movement. :O
ma come si fa a mettere un video di una cintura nera (presumo) che esegue un mae ukemi sbagliata ???
La gamba sinistra NON DEVE essere piegata, le gambe devono essere quasi parallele al fine di permettere, alla spinta della caduta, di tornare esattamente in piedi !
Infatti piegando una gamba e ruotando sul ginocchio della stessa si avrebbe una gamba lunga la metà dell'altra ...... come si farebbe a tornare esattamente in piedi ???
It would been better with tighter pants on now with the skirt on you cover you legs and we really can't see the technic. Otherwise really nice and smooth.
fantastic, I'll always love martial arts and hopefully one day I can be this good. Although I did realize something just now, ninjas would make great dancers, hehe I'd to run into a bunch on them at a club
Yeah , i already do Aikido, and yeah cool , i've been doing some research on ninjitsu lately actually, seems pretty cool. if ninja's wernt already about , we would probably have to invent them, lol, so how long have you been doing Ninjitsu ??
not very long, either a year or a year and half, I am now a green belt 4 stars, I recently got my forth star when I won a knife fight (markers as knives) at the annual tai kai (ninja camp) against our tallest guy who is a brown belt =P
Cool, i am with Imaff and not NAF ( National Aikido Federation ) so we don't have colour belts, we have kyu's, i have been doing Aikido for about 8 months and i am a 5th kyu , i'm not sure what colour belt that is though, lol, and Cool , sumtimes its better too be short though, i am 5ft 11 inches so yanno , How old are you ??
oh cool, can't say I know what Imaff is, or kyu's for that matter =P I admit I love the arts but I really don't know much about them and yes being short is usually an advantage for ninjutsu it was created by Japanese people =P
Imaff is like , erm , the ossoiation that we are with , like the people who give us our grades, and Kyu's are the levels , like you have colour belts and we have a book witch says what level ( kyu ) you are =p And i'm 14 , Do you have MSN ?
oh ok... well I was just wondering... unfortunately for me there are no ninjutsu schools here, so I am taking judo/jujutsu and boxing... not karate but there aren't shotokan or kyokushin schools in my area either *sigh*
Judo and boxing are infinetly better than ninjitsu anyway, what are you a medievel japanese assasin? Boxing and Judo are real sports, not to mention better self defense.
Yes. The yudansha at my dojo tend to do this ukemi (they call it "the snake") for tenkan ikkyo and nikkyo, for example. (Imagine one of his hands was being held; this is how you keep from taking the impact with your face.)
Very nice Ukemi. I particularly like your "falling Leaf." The falling leaf always gets a good laugh in my dojo when my students are practising it, LoL.
You and to other Aikidoka are the only people I have seen demonstrate ushiro otoshi backward. You fall on your chest so smoothly. I would love to see your break falls
HI well nice video. I was just wondering. Like him he knows "how to fall". What if an Aikido Practitioner battled an Aikido Practitioner too who knows how to fall? Will Aikido be useless already since it's most attack is throwing?
well,no.....see if you were wearing a bullet proof vest and I shot you.....the bullet may not pierce you but it will still badly bruise you or break your ribs. The same way when you are throwen by an other Aikidoka,the ukemi will lessen the impact but your body will still take some impact.
Very elegant
