Re: VERY Beginner Ukemi

Are you actually taking any rolls while being thrown? If not, perhaps rolling should be left until later. Rolling is not very beginner ukemi, IMO. It is much harder than people make it out to be . Also, a roll on your own is harder then a roll with help from nage. You have to supply all of your own energy.
