What is ukemi?

Best Answer

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.
