Illustration of man falling

Kupuna Aikido will demonstrate how to reduce your risk of falling and techniques that can reduce serious injury from falls. Learn how to fall to help:

  • protect your head from injury
  • prevent or reduce significant injury such as broken hips, pelvis, arms or shoulder

This is NOT a martial arts class. Sorry, no physical audience participation.

Kupuna Aikido is a 501(c)3 organization made up of volunteer senior Aikido instructors who are concerned about kupuna falling and getting hurt.
