​

Planned Classes for 2024 

• No sessions for the remaining year.

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 session. Please check the website for updated information for next year 2025.

​​

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. The presentations listed below are currently open to the general public. If your group is interested in having a presentation, please send an email request to kupuna.aikido@gmail.com.
