Discover the foundations of ukemi...
Enhance your fitness routine with specialized training designed for real-world application...
When was the last time you avoided doing something you wanted to do because you were scared that you might fall and hurt yourself?
Not that this is always a bad thing… But what is the threshold where something really becomes dangerous to you? You should be able to confidently fall with some degree of control, from standing or walking, and get back up uninjured. That shouldn’t be a gamble for any human being under normal circumstances.
​
Your body’s limitations define your capacity, and the time and effort you are willing to put in that, defines your success. This course provides the skills, the progression, the plan, and the means to break your body’s limitations regarding range of motion, stability, and body control.
​
In daily life, at the gym, out on the trail, in the dojo, or when out playing with the kids, there are things that you would like to do, but you don’t try because you’re not sure if your body can handle it, or if you might fall and hurt yourself. If you feel like this, you need to get to know your body better, and get to know the relationship between your body and your environment, i.e. the force of gravity.
​
You should be able to trust your body with confidence, and feel like it supports the things you want to do without any unpredictable setbacks. If you have progress to make in that department, I’m here to help.

Why Ukemi Matters
We all share a lifelong relationship with gravity and the ground beneath us. The question is: When you fall, do you brace for impact or embrace your descent like a trusted companion? Do you trust your natural response? If not, is it just because you are not sure how your body will respond? Do you trust your body, and its natural movement?
Ukemi training allows you to welcome the fall—not as a setback, but as a moment to flow through with grace. This program teaches you how to turn unavoidable falls into opportunities to effortlessly express your body’s resilience and adaptability.
