Ukemi Integrity
If you look at most teaching manuals, they are essentially Nage centric in their approach to teaching Aikido, perhaps in the beginning of the manual there will be a brief description of how to fall, how to do a forward roll, backward roll, knee walking and so on. However, the focus of most manuals are the movements of Nage with little explanation about Uke. To better understand Aiki a better grasp of Ukemi is required. Ukemi in this context refers to the movements of uke not only how they perform the attacks but equally how they respond to nage’s defensive techniques.
Suwari Waza Kata-Dori Ura
In this technique Uke attacks Nage attempting to take control of Nage’s shoulder. This is a strong anchoring grip with the intent to control / limit Nage’s center.
Nage counters Uke’s atack with an ura movement, turning off the line of attack, pivoting around uke’s point of contact (force), and from behind applying the counter technique.
