This Tasmanian Nagato Taikai also coincides with the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Basic Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation between Japan and Australia (NARA Treaty). 🙏

“Your Ukemi improving. You’re starting to understand the martial arts.”
-Takamatsu to Hatsumi.

I’ve seen many instructors talk about performing correct Ukemi and being a good Uke.
I’ve observed many of these people over the years in Japan and around the world training, and their Ukemi and ability of being Uke is far from skilled and understood.
Generally, the main reason is their lack of direct experience as their ego refuses to accept the role of being Uke. To learn Budô, one has to understand both sides of life - Uke and Tori.
Less talk, more training!
