Ukemi

As a case school case technology and - in Japanese martial disciplines - Ukemi (Japanese受け身) different types of falling are referred to, in which case the end takes as little damage.

The aim of the practice of the case school is a safe and controlled transition from the ground state (and possibly directly into stand ) to ensure. The technique is practiced case in the worst case be executed reflexively ( in case you stumble, a thrust attack, etc.) to a time delay - through active reflection - to minimize and thereby remain intact and able to fight. The case school is an important part of many martial arts and martial arts such as the Budo disciplines Judo, Jiu Jitsu, and Aikido or for example the wrestling.

General

The main ingredients of the case school to protect sensitive parts of the body, such as head and spine are

For all case types in principle the following applies:

  • The head should always be pressed with the chin on the chest to take the strain of the cervical spine and to protect the head before impact.
  • It should be unrolled completely perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body on the back never, but always inclined to do so. This leads to a relief of the spinal column because they do not completely contact the ground, but is crossed during rolling once.
  • The chopping must be done at the time in which the falling body of the maximum energy impact would be exposed. By knocking reduces the falling speed and increases the impact surface. Thus, the energy is more evenly distributed and the individual areas of the incident total area are relieved. Another interpretation is that by knocking off the body becomes tense and this causes better absorption of the case. It should be noted that there are different versions of the shaking. So Aikido is knocked off only in " emergencies " in, causing the Aikido school case, for example, enormously of the judo school case - in a loud, hard knocking off is desirable - is different.

Fall forward

Falling forward - in Japanese martial disciplines Mae Ukemi (Japanese前 受 身) - is oblique to the longitudinal axis of the body and therefore not on the head, in contrast to the role in the classic gymnastics. This leads one arm on the case and the case axis is directed from the arm over the shoulder across the back. Here are variants which express themselves esp. in behavior after the actual event and the forward roll:

  • Traps with breaking down in the supine position: This chops off the arm opposite the Führarm to stop the event - often to watch judo.
  • Traps with getting The diverted case energy is kept in the river and used to direct rising - especially in Aikido observed, but finds sometimes in judo application.
  • Traps and back to combat readiness: After getting up the body with a circular step ( Tai Sabaki ) is rotated and is now opposite to the original direction of fall to fend off a possible attack sequence - for example, to observe the Jiu Jitsu.

The so-called " free fall " exists as another variant. This is based on a situation in which the case end can not make do with the poor, for example, because they are held by the thrower. The rotational movement must be performed in the air; the landing is similar to the normal forward roll; However, often taught without subsequent rising. When landing is greatly knocked off in all combat sports, to minimize the risk of injury.

Fall backward

When falling backwards - in Japanese martial disciplines Ushiro Ukemi (Japanese後ろ 受身) referred to - it is particularly important to protect the head from impact ( "on the chest to take the chin "). This is by the straight case back and the whiplash effect of the body especially at risk. Before the collision, both arms are taken back and catch the case with the knocking - before the advent of the upper body - from. It follows that

  • Traps with breaking down in the supine position: Here, both arms from hitting fixed and the Falling remains lie - for example judo.
  • Traps with subsequent rolling backwards and getting up in the combat readiness: Alternatively, when falling backwards after knocking off (see above), the head bent to the side, the legs are lifted towards the head and are used with the arms away from the ground for direct standing up - as in Jiu Jitsu observed.
  • Traps with soft roller and getting up in the combat readiness: One leg is set and articulated, so that the roller can be made directly across the back to the rear. Here, the head is easily set aside and protected with the arm, over the ends the role - such as in Aikido practice.

Fall sideways

Called in Japanese martial disciplines Yoko Ukemi - (Japanese横 受 身) - - Sideways traps is used to intercept techniques that unilaterally break the balance, for example, move a leg. When falling the leg side of the case is pushed away and the arm in the direction of fall kicks off as early as possible. It should be noted again the danger of the head and also a possible elbow fracture, if the discount arm is not stretched ( common beginner's mistake ). Below is the

  • Traps with breaking down on its side: this suggests an arm from fixed and the Falling remains lie - for example judo.
  • To observe, such as the Jiu Jitsu - After knocking off the head is bent to the side, lifted his legs towards the head and used the case of energy with the pressure of the tee arm from the ground to direct you get up traps with Seitwärtrolle and getting up in the combat readiness.
