Mawari ukemi (回り受身), the rolling breakfall, is central to Aikido practice because it teaches practitioners how to transform potentially harmful falls into fluid, controlled movements, protecting the body while embodying the art’s principle of harmony. In the dojo, it builds confidence, adaptability, and trust—allowing students to engage fully with throws and techniques without fear. #shuseikan #shuseikanvb13 #aikido | Shuseikan Aikido
