Description:

In Japanese martial arts, Ukemi translates to "receiving body" or "receiving technique" and refers to the art of falling safely. Falls are a leading cause of injury across all demographics.  In this class, older adults will learn the principles of falling without injury. After finding center through meditation and Japanese yoga, participants will warm up the body with light core exercises and stretches, then practice safe falling on a forgiving matted surface. Registrants must be able to get up and down from a mat safely to join a Ukemi series.

This Introduction program will provide a brief sampling of what participants can expect in each Ukemi series.  Instructor: Randy Thompson, 3rd degree black belt in Aikido.
