Hi Robin. I see your view there.

You say great potential for injury. I say no injuries. Therefore there is something we are doing you are not aware of.

That demo video you show is just that, demo.
Hi Graham,

Fair enough. I am not aware of whatever it is.

The video was posted as an example of how ukemi is done where I learned my aikido. Yes, it is a demo and they are trying to show off a little bit, but at the same time, that is the sort of ukemi we practice (with the exception of the shiho-nages). I think it is a valid example of such. I don't have any videos of regular training, so it will have to do.
