Becoming a Good Uke

One of the main habits of highly effective grapplers is the ability to be a good uke. Uke refers to the person receiving a technique while Tori is the one executing the technique. Being a good uke means providing the right level of resistance and intelligent responses. It involves finding the balance between too much resistance and being too rigid or too soft. By being a good uke, one can create a realistic training environment and help their training partner improve their techniques.
