5.0 out of 5 stars Great ukemi primer for the beginner, June 10, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Ukemi - The Art of Falling (DVD)
I was having some problems with my ukemi just starting out. I felt this tape helped a lot. Covering backward and forward rolls, breakfalls and fluidty practice. I liked the fact that he went into why he felt certain leg positions on the breakfallas were better than others. If you do get it which I highly recommend, I would also check out Bookman's advanced ukemi tape. I have it and its great also.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good start, December 18, 2001
This review is from: Ukemi - The Art of Falling (DVD)
Bookman sensei explains things well and the demonstrations are excellent. Some of the actual ukemi taught is a little - well - harsh. I felt like more time on rolls and less on breakfalls would have been a good thing. Having said that, though, there was a good deal of time spent on other aspects of ukemi that was excellent. The time spent on subtle details was especially good for those of us who used to be good at ukemi but are just getting back to Aikido after several years away.

This review is from: Ukemi - The Art of Falling (DVD)
The insight that Sensei Bookman was clear, logical and simple to follow. It is a must for any beginner Aikidoka. Good Ukemi allows for better involvement and understanding of the art.
