Currently reviewing literature on Ukemi.
Uke + mi roughly translates as "receiving body" or "receiving self."
A student generally is prepared to be on receiving end of a throw before learning to throw.
How does one receive the intent?
Can one fall safely? Does one injure him/herself?
Does one "take it personally" or take it into their person?
How skillfully does one work with and redirect the energy?
