    Indeed.

    Like Fusen has pointed out if you are capable of taking ukemi correctly then most of the problems are solved.

    If you are not capable of taking ukemi correctly then why are you teaching?


    Ukemi is more than slapping the floor and rolling around.

    Actually no they don't.

    For the record you said the following in a previous post:

    "Yes and I have a B.S. MBA, CPA, and a Sandan. I'm 55 and enjoy working with youth. My students range from age 3 to 42. I don't claim to be a professional fighter but I have held my own in several street fights. I'm also a former U.S. Army Soldier.

    My instructor is a Vietnam vet approaching 70. He is also a scientist (sp) with a PHD.

    AJA, not professional fighters but good a quality organization. Keep an open mind and you could learn something.
    "

    And I stated in response:

    "I agree we could learn something. In this instance, maybe its what NOT to do.

    Seriously though, this is the same old disingenuous argument. This has nothing to do with being a professional fighter, someone's former military experience or whether what they are teaching is "effective".
    "

    IMO that is pretty clear and easy to understand regardless of whether you agree or disagree with it.

    If you don't want to discuss things that's fine; however please don't purposely take things out of context by quoting only a small part and trying to change the subject.

    I know what breakfalls are. The point I was trying to make is that when no uke is available for a young kid (say 8 or 9) they can still learn to throw with a grappling dummy. My dummies are 30,50,70 and 120lbs.

    I was addressing the previous criticisim of AJA members.

    Like I said ukemi is more than just slapping the floor and rolling around.


    Why not work on other things until an uke is available?

    It just doesn't seem like a good use of time or finances.

    I do work on other things. I have several long term students. The problem with a small home base dojo is that sometimes finding a 40lb kid who knows how to "take a fall" is not possible. Kids enjoy working with the grappling dummy. In this case the student will learn some nage waza before learning full fledged ukemi.

    I think there point is that you should be taking ukemi for the kid, not the other way round.

    How can I take a throw from a 4 foot kid that weighs 40lbs?

    By helping them with it, Jujitsu is based on breaking balance remember.

    Almost impossible, at my height/weight. They get more benefit from a grappling dummy.

    No I'm pointing out that I had found the advert for an online dieting site.

    Read between the lines a little here Greg, use a little Tiger Brain!
