On one level, this was productive. Not only is my ukemi better, but I can teach other people as well (the key is to keep your head as close to your twisted arm as is possible). BUT, this is not necessarily combative effectiveness in any pure form. It is just a method of protecting yourself within the artificial set-up situations in classic aikido when someone takes advantage of the "rules" to cause harm.
the above is a quote from E. Amdur regarding "deaths from ushiro ukemi.
i have a simple request that i will preface by saying that i will hold no one liable for responding:
those of you who have been doing Aikido for decades, for years, and have devised these great approaches to ukemi, please share them. maybe you'll save a life or prevent further abuse.
how about an online ukemi primer, right here, glossing over or detailing the requisite ukemi and or kaeshi waza to safely receive nage or osae waza.
for example: let's hear it for ikkyo, nikkyo, and sankyo.
then go on to shihonage, kotegaeshi, iriminage.
then koshinage, maybe jujinage.
please hurry because at my dojo there's this guy, i swear he's crazy...oh wait. never mind, i'm talking about myself again!
cheers and truly
