I voted "Very Important" because I believe that it's even more important to trust nage than yourself when taking ukemi. They are the one, after all, that's going to tweak your joints around in uncomfortable ways!

I voted 'very important' because after all, it is your self that you are putting out there on the line; entering the unknown, especially if nage is a stranger. This is a great chance to study the 'ura' , or 'hidden' side of aikido training.

I voted Critically important, because not every nage is going to look out for your best interested. When that happens, it up to you to look out for yourself and spare yourself from unnecessary pain and injury. I'm sure there are a few people out there that know what I'm talking about.

I said self-trust is crucial to good ukemi. If you can't trust your own actions, you're going to hesitate from time to time and that's often the kind of thing that gets people hurt. As uke, I never fully trust nage. Stuff happens after all, and if I assume it won't for the sake of trust, I can get hurt. You might say the only thing I trust is the uncertainty of the world around me. In that context, trust in myself seems the more certain option since I at least can control my responses to the situations I have relatively little control over.
