"Your guide for newbies covers vastly all the points that worry me the most ... I read it eagerly the minute I received it, and several times more after. ... I wonder how people used to prepare for their first gradings in the olden days, before you guys wrote this guide ... In general, I like the understanding and friendly style of yours, and the tricks to gain a few secs in case you feel too tired! ..." Patricia, London

Sometimes an ukemi is not performed the best way... Ukemi without using the arms is not the easiest one, that's why it's usually not recommended to beginners. If you want to try it, fold your hands, go down to shikko dachi and start rolling forward. You will see that it's harder to roll this way, but rolling without the use of the hands can come handy sometimes (think icy roads and some big china vase in your hands).
