Re: Progressing with Ukemi as well as Waza.

It also leads to the question -- if someone has some physical reason they can't take some kinds ukemi or not in some situations (e.g. back pain, age related changes), but their waza is excellent - not unreasonable, I think, given the different demands on the body of good ukemi and good technique - how important a problem is that and to what degree, if any, should it be the basis for rank or lack thereof?
