We have arranged for the good folks from https://www.kupunaaikido.org/ to share with us their fantastic fall avoidance program for senior citizens. We plan to host them in our dojo in Virginia for a “Train the Trainer” weekend (September 7/8) wherein they will teach how to conduct these fall avoidance / safer falling programs.   Friday night, you can also learn how they publicize this program in their community.

Kupuna Aikido is using Aikido principles to provide valuable skills to our aging population including enhancing balance, fall avoidance, and low-impact falling.  Programs like this can be an adjunct to a dojo’s regular Aikido curriculum.

The seminar is also open to others that work with seniors (such as allied health professionals) and would like to learn this valuable method to enhance senior health and safety — no Aikido knowledge is required.
