ukemi - How necessary is high break fall?
How necessary is it to be able to do a high break fall. the like of which you see in demostrations?
It seems almost a trademark of Aikido but is it more for disply purposes? will a low break fallbe just as good and pssible more practical?
and while i am on the subject, I don't recall any videos of o-sensei's uke performing this kind of high break fall does anyone know the origins?
