elib.tech Exclusive… sharing elsewhere will result in being banned! DVD:UKEMI From the Ground UpThis DVD offers a step-by-step procedure to learn and/or instruct safe aikido ukemi. Whether entirely new to the art, or desiring to retool one’s skills, the methods here will enable any reasonably fit practitioner to be able to take falls in aikido (and other similar arms-length grappling systems) safely. The methods here are not merely to assist in learning how to collude with the person executing the technique these methods enable one to be prepared and able to gracefully manage both the malevolent and the inept as well as skilled practitioner executing ordinary technique.Ellis Amdur’s elegant, no-nonsense approach to ukemi training has been a huge positive for my aikido classes in NJIT’s Phys Ed Department. I’ve found that new students taught using this method are typically able to safely execute both basic and advanced ukemi, including breakfalls, within one or two classes, rather than weeks, months, or years.Contents include:   * Prelude   * Front falls   * Ukemi & counters   * Front falls – troubleshooting   * Ikkyo   * Standing back falls   * Proactive ukemi   * High ukemi   * Feet/body positioning   * Rolling over another   * The problem with hanmi   * Safe ukemi   * Hanmi vs. shizentai   * Changing direction   * Ukemi options   * Ukemi from shihonage   * Additional features     -Solo practice     -Atemi     -Iriminage     -Shihonage     -Counters to shihonageTestimonials:— Fred Little, Aikido InstructorDepartment of Physical EducationNew Jersey Institute of TechnologyIf I had the benefit of this method of training 20 or 30 years ago, I believe that I would not have incurred most of the injuries I’ve gotten taking ukemi.— Dennis Hooker, 6th DanDirector of the Shindai DojoOrlando FloridaReviews:E-Budo.com.

The verdict on Ukemi: From The Ground Up is a definite “must have” for instructors and students of arts that include throwing techniques…It will give you reason to reevaluate why you teach and do things the way you do and maybe even adapt some of the methods in this video to your own curriculum.
