UKEMI: The Art of Falling, is a fall prevention and gait training program with the goal of preventing and minimizing injuries associated with falling. Proficiency in falling is achieved by learning techniques in four basic categories: breathing techniques to help with dizziness and minimize the chances of pneumonia after a fall; balance techniques to help with lowering and standing up from the floor; strengthening techniques focused on wrists, ankles, elbows and knees; and ultimately 40 basic falling techniques based on the most valuable principals of falling found in Judo, Aikido, and Brazilian Jiujitsu (BJJ). Special attention is paid to moving with a proper gait during the practice of Ukemi. The study of Namba Aruki (Namba walking) and Shikko (Samurai Walking) help practitioners develop an efficient and balanced gait
Teacher Info:
Philip Cappello was a D1 lacrosse player at Rutgers and fell 50 feet off a roof. This gave him a unique interest in falling safety and Ukemi. Philip has been practicing Aikido for the last 25 years and he has been training BJJ for a decade
His classes focus on falling not fighting. .
Class is $10
