Learn a Backward Roll

Shaw Sensei provides a step by step instruction in how to correctly and safely learn a backward roll. In the end, any fall in which you do not harm yourself is a good fall. Ukemi is the other half of learning Iwama Ryu Aikido. It provides the experience of techniques done well which teaches you about what it feels like. Ukemi also allows you to train safely with others and to effectively “get out of harm’s way” when required.
