YUKO UKEMI (SIDE FALL)

YUKO UKEMI (SIDE FALL)

You are ready to be thrown now!!!

How to do it?

Step forward with the left leg and extend the right arm outward from the side at shoulder height. Advance the right foot as if swept out by a foot sweep. Allow the foot to continue upward, following through with right arm while falling sideways. Bend the left leg at the knee, and strike the mat with the right arm to dissipate the impact, with the feet up and together.

Why Shoud I do Yuko ukemi?

• to protect the side part of our body.

• to protect our head from a sudden impact on the ground

Let's do it!!!
