Ukemi - The Art of Falling

Our Basics Class is a good place to learn how to roll or "take ukemi".

Rolling practice begins with warm-ups. The instructor then works with students on basic rolling practices and routines, adjusting the difficulty of the practice based on the student's ability.

The videos below and on the Aikido Institute YouTube Site illustrate the basic rolling practices and techniques taught at the dojo.
