Re: Mae Ukemi - advice needed

Amir is giving you the best help...on the mat. Ellis Amdur has some exercises he described in a seminar on how to physically help beginners get through this by supporting parts of the body while the beginner rolls. It was one of the best things for this I've ever seen...I don't know if it's on the DVD. Maybe if you send him an email through his profile, he can describe the method I'm speaking of, and give good hints.

Best,
Ron
