Ukemi training involves a whole host of fall techniques that are most practiced in grip martial arts and sports.
The word "ukemi" contains the idea of ​​protecting and accepting a force directed at us. From this point of view, you can see ukemi training only as a fall exercise, without integrating with self-defense training and learning about the opponent's attack, it is irrational.
There should not be a person, who recommends that you practice "martial arts" without knowing how to fall.
It is essential that:
- Ukemi should be trained on different types of flooring - tatami, parquet, grass, sand.
- You have to search in order to gain strength from contact with your own forces and to fit in the direction of the attack of any country.
- To learn some basic things for protection and counterattack after the fall.
- Practicing ukemi gives many new possibilities to the body.
- Develop the vestibular apparatus and spatial orientation.
