The Importance of Correct Ukemi The Aiki Dojo Podcast

The Aiki Dojo Podcast - The Importance of Correct Ukemi

In Episode 49 of the Aiki Dojo Podcast, we discuss ukemi and how its correct execution is imperative to the mastery of Aikido. Ukemi is not just falling down for someone. It is an intricate and detail oriented process of moving with the nage. Ukemi teaches us so much more than physical movement that it becomes a metaphor for how to live one’s life. 

Enjoy!
