MAE-MAWARI-UKEMI I

Mae-Maware-Ukemi is a safe falling technique executed as a forward roll over the shoulder to minimise the impact with the Tatami when a player is thrown forward.

Key technical points:
1. Keep chin tucked in (touching chest).
2. Protect shoulder from a direct hard landing by using the leading turning to the side to soften the shoulder landing.
3. Tori lands on the side and keeps his legs apart (not crossing his legs).
