Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Fall Out for Waite Comment: My Aikido instructor was a student of Yamada sensei who of course studied with M. Ueshiba. Mr. Waite is Yamada sensei's personal ueshi deshi, and I have had the pleasure of seeing the great shihan launch a stout, and strong Donovan Waite from one end of the room to another like a rag doll. Mr. Waite has incredible ukemi, and on tape one he goes into detail as to how he's developed it. Surprisingly, he came up with this method to off set the many injuries he's received over the years. The instruction is clear and easy to understand. All falls are taught at the "safest" level, slowly going onto more difficult exercises as your ukemi developes. I was astonished at how effective his techniques are. Both Mr. Waite and his assistants are falling on synthetic tatami over concrete. Yet as they fall they never seem to crash onto the mat. A good tape to have as you start to look at improving your own ukemi. Customer Rating: Summary: Exelente método de enseñanza. Excelente Sensei. Comment: Es un video de instrucción, donde en forma clara y con un método progresivo enseña las caídas del aikido. El lenguaje es fácil de entender, y las imágenes excelentes. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Ukemi Tape Comment: Very well thoughtout and very sincere instruction. Once fantastic point is that Sensei Donavan repeats each falling technique in different angles. It was remarkable for him to take each fall slowly onto the mat without sustaining any pain or injury. I highly recommend this tape for all Aikido practioners whether you are from Yoshinkan, Aikikai and the likes. Customer Rating: Summary: Best Aikido Ukemi tape available...
