Explanation and Etymology - (受身) ukemi
受身 (ukemi) is a Japanese word that refers to a defense technique used in martial arts such as judo and aikido. The word is composed by the kanjis 受 (u), which means "to receive", and 身 (kemi), which means "body". Ukemi, therefore, can be translated as "receiving with the body." Ukemi's technique is used to absorb the impact of a drop or throwing, minimizing the risk of injury. It involves the ability to fall safely and controlled, distributing the impact to the body and preventing a single area from being overloaded. In addition to being a defense technique, Ukemi is also used as a form of training to develop motor coordination, flexibility and physical resistance. It is a fundamental skill for any martial arts practitioner. The word ukemi is written in kanji, but is pronounced in Hiragana as うけみ (ukemi).How to Write in Japanese - (受身) ukemi
