Hello, I have listened very carefully to what has been said, and I would like to thank you for this fantastic Podcast on this subject. It really gave me a much more appropriate awareness for my development in teaching our beloved Aikido. Well done Sensei!

Another great episode! Wouldn't mind hearing more about ukemi in the future. Always thought ukemi is one of Aikido's most distinctive parts.

Aikido throw break fall over shoulder skills martial arts

In my opinion the greatest difference between judo and aikido break falls is that, in aikido there is a "cooperativeness" involved during practice. In addition, aikido throws tend to take longer to develop, so the uke has more time to realize what is happening. There is no competition in aikido, where as in judo, it's a sport, and the majority of practice is spent in live randori. Everything is quick, spontaneous and with full effort and resistance. Judo throws are fast and furious; therefore, judoka need to learn to break fall and dissipate force, in the supine or prone position with no added benefits of rolling out. Now you take the fact that judoka will link combos, and now this makes it even more difficult to know what you'll be thrown with. I mean, just a basic ouchi gari into a seio nage, done with excellent timing, is very difficult to see coming. By the time you realize what happened, you'll be flat on your back. In my opinion, if you spontaneously fall off of a skateboard, a bicycle, fall backwards while sitting on a tree branch, or if you're thrown down during an attack on the street, chances are that you won't have the time to roll out. It'll most likely be a "pancake" fall, and you'll only have enough time to tuck your chin and dissipate force using your arms and legs. I'm not saying that learning to roll out is useless because it's not. And, at the end of the day, learning any type of tumbling or falling is much better than not learning anything at all. I think all kids should take at least one year of consistent judo, gymnastics, or aikido training, at an early age, before doing other stuff like skateboarding, riding a bike, playing football, soccer, skiing, etc. Kids need to learn how to fall to keep safe.

Thank you for watching and always taking the time to comment. I do agree with what you have said.

My first two years learning Aikido I trained with mostly bouncers who were very good at Judo. I was 16 years old and built like a bean stalk. They pummeled me every single class. I had to learn how to land very quickly. It was great when I started throwing full grown men, twice my weight. I later had no issues getting into the local nightclubs because they bouncers all knew me and knew I wouldn't cause trouble.
