!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.

Full review.
BudoSeek.
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.
I know it has in my case, and has given me some ways to help improve how I teach ukemi in my dojo
