ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- Want to minimize your risk of injury while practicing martial arts?

Ukemi, the art of falling safely and efficiently, is an essential skill in martial arts like Judo, Aikido, and Jujutsu. Proper ukemi not only prevents injuries but also enhances overall martial arts performance. One of the few important steps to keep in mind when falling is slapping.

Master the Art of Slapping
Slapping the ground with your arms during a fall helps to disperse the impact force, reducing the risk of injury. This technique involves extending your arms in a "V" shape rather than a plus sign, which helps maintain balance and protect the head.

Exercise: Practice gentle slapping from shoulder to fingertip while on your knees. Ensure your knees are slightly bent and pointing straight ahead. Progress to two-hand back falls with your chin tucked and feet extended.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:
Head going back: Always keep your chin tucked.
Timing of the slap: Avoid slapping too early or too late; synchronize it with your upper body hitting the ground.
