Re: Ukemi

In a Swiss school I trained for awhile, ukemi in all variations (including jumping over cowering comrades) was practised at length at the beginning of every session.

However, in none of the Japanese schools where the bulk of my Aikido comes from was ukemi trained as such. So I laid out the futon in my room and practised it on my own. I learned it well enough this way.
