I have seen ukemi defined a couple different ways:
1. Rebounding from the ground: This would encompass all rolls, break falls and etc methods for falling safely.
2. Another way it is used in Japanese arts is the Uke /Tore relationship . In this training format you have an attacker (usually the Uke) and the defender (Tore). Uke initiates the aggression and then is required to "take a fall" while an appropriate technique is applied. It is the responsibillity of the Uke to give a convincing attack with the correct intention and yet still remain somewhat non-combative as the tore applies any given technique. Again Uke is receiving the technique.
Hope this helps.

How do you win Super Smash Bros. Brawl with Zelda?
Hit every button on the Game Cube Controller all at once annnnnd.... NOTHING SPECIAL WILL HAPPEN! If you want to win as a specific character... THEN PRACTICE!!! You can use www.smashbros.com (The official Smash site, made by the creator of Smash Bros.) or SmashWiki for tech help. But that's all moot if you don't put in the time. Learn all the basics, shield, dodge, SMASHES, Perfect-Shield (Literally a tech), Ukemi (A VERY useful trick to get used to), PROPER recovery techniques, etc. Obviously, this all applies to every character, just the way some of them are timed/used will differ.
How do ninjas run up walls?
First off, let me mention that real ninja back in the day did not do much in the way of acrobatic stuff. The most you would see would be forms of pole vaulting with a spear and ukemi (rolls and break falls). With that out of the way, some schools of ninjutsu teach running up vertical or close to vertical objects, primarily in the form of trees, and sometimes in the form of walls (although with Japanese castles, there wasn't much wall to run up). Ninpo Taijutsu, led by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi recommends starting with a 12 foot long board that is somewhat slender and propping it up at a 45degree angle, and practicing running up it in a single sprint. After you get good at that, you increase the angle to something like 60 degrees, then 75 degrees, then 85, and finally 90 degrees. At this point you can then practice actually running up trees and walls. It is about keeping a good flow of energy and trying to do it in one fluid motion so to say. Some recommend taking large steps in your approach (like in Parkour), but in most ninjutsu you would take a series of quick, short steps.
I have a karate demo next week, and the last part is a demo of me and some other guys trying to take a guy down. I'm supposed to ‘play dead’ after I make my move, but I don’t know how to make it look ‘dramatic’ according to my sensei. Any advice?
For your karate demo, creating a dramatic "playing dead" moment can enhance the overall impact of the performance. Here are some tips to make it look convincing and dramatic: Timing and Coordination As soon as you get "hit" or make your move, react immediately. The faster you go from action to reaction, the more convincing it will look. Coordinate with your teammates to ensure your movements are synchronized, which can add to the drama. Body Movements Exaggerate the Impact: When you’re supposed to be "taken down," make your body go limp dramatically. Let your limbs fall naturally and heavily. Practice falling safely but convincingly. Use techniques like breakfalls (ukemi) to ensure you don’t get hurt while looking dramatic. Facial Expression: Show a sudden change in your facial expression to indicate the moment of impact. Go from focused to surprised or pained in an instant. Sound Effects Breath Out Loudly: Exhale sharply when you hit the ground. This can help sell the impact of the fall. Guttural Sounds: Make a guttural sound or a short cry when you get hit or fall. This adds to the realism of the "injury."
