Aikido Ukemi Vol. 1 by Waite Donovan
One of the most vital self-defense abilities is the ability to fall safely to the ground. It is critical for Aikido trainees, who spend half of their practice time being thrown hard to the mat. Donovan Waite Sensei displays his unique falling method in this video, which is based on seven techniques ranging from traditional Aikido rolls to knee-saving side falls and breathtaking back dives. Waite Sensei meets the mat lightly, not with percussion, in all of these falls. Waite Sensei gives increasingly organized activities that allow students of all levels to develop toward mastery of falling safely and at their own speeds after showing and explaining the intricacies of the seven falls. The approach provided here is a significant step forward in the development of falling technique, and it should be of interest to Aikido students, martial arts practitioners, and everyone interested in creating a pleasant relationship with the earth.
The following falls are recommended:
Mae Kaiten’s (basic front roll)
Ushiro Kaiten’s (basic back roll)
Yoko Mae Kaiten (forward side roll)
Yoko Ushiro Kaiten (backward side roll)
Yoko Kaiten Ushiro Mae (front side roll when falling backward)
– Ushiro Mae Kaiten (front roll after falling backward) (front roll when falling backward)
– Ushiro Otoshi (Backfall) – with three stages of advancement
Donovan Waite Sensei (6th dan) began his Aikido studies in England and spent many years as uchi deshi at the New York Aikikai under Yoshimitsu Yamada Sensei. In Philadelphia, he is presently the Chief Instructor at Aikido of Center City.

Aikido Ukemi vol.2 by Waite Donovan
Waite Sensei shifts his focus from falling technique to basic concepts of ukemi in part 2 of this two-part course. To keep safe while while giving appropriate practice for nage, uke must:
– keep eye contact during the encounter – launch a focused “attack” – be calm – be genuine
Waite Sensei also addresses the “high falls” that Aikidoists occasionally take from throws like shihonage, koshinage, and jujinage. While he acknowledges that these falls have their place in Aikido practice, he recommends alternatives in which uke “rolls on the mat rather than in the air.” The two-tape collection provides a comprehensive, thorough, and occasionally unique examination of Aikido ukemi. The images seen are from V1.
