Re: ukemi/Sugano Sensei's ideas

If you don't fall/roll on a regular basis in class, you'll be broken if you are "asked" to fall/roll out there with an "opponent," whether that opponent be actual friend or foe. It's that simple. That's why ukemi is so important. Survival is the goal of uke, and ukemi is the art of uke.

I find it interesting that the kanji character for kuzushi illustrates a mountain falling on a house.
