Class Space – Space is limited and there are usually more applicants than available class spaces. The class instructors will notify you by email if space is available for you in a class. Instructors normally respond within 48 hours of your application. Only students who have been confirmed by an instructor for a class should fill out the Class Registration Forms.

Planned Classes for 2024 

  • Session 15, Early August - September

We will post the session fee, locations, classes, dates, and times approximately 6 weeks before the start of each session (please note that fees, locations, dates, and times are subject to change). We will only accept applications submitted during the registration period for each session (14 & 15). Please check the website for updated information. 

Medical Self Certification – Some students are worried about taking a Safe Falling class because of a medical or physical limitation.  

  • We are NOT medical professionals and are NOT qualified to say if it is safe for you to attend our classes.

  • Please complete the "Medical Self-Certification" form to help you decide whether to register for a class.  The form identifies the activities and physical requirements for the classes.

  • If you have ANY concerns about any requirements, please consult with your doctor.

 

 

 

 

Free Safe Falling Presentations

We offer live and Zoom Safe Falling Presentations. The presentation is free to nonprofits and community groups who open the presentation to the general public. This engaging presentation is about 45 minutes long and we believe kupuna can decrease the severity of injury from falls by applying one or two of our safe falling principles. If your group is interested in a presentation, please send an email request to kupuna.aikido@gmail.com.
