Re: What makes a goods uke?

Although it's a simplistic way of rephrasing what many of you are eluding to, I tell my students and myself that, "Uke's job is to help nage do the best that they can do."

To me, one of the interpretations of this might be resisting more if nage is "sloppy" with their technique, while easing up if nage is continually frustrated, experiencing no success, with my level of resistance.
