Start: 2026-06-05T14:00:00-04:00
Location: SwimFit Wellness

Falls do not just affect the body. They affect confidence, independence, and peace of mind.
This Ukemi Health Fall Protection 101 workshop is a gentle, practical class designed to help people move with more confidence and reduce the risk of injury during a fall. While most fall prevention programs focus only on avoiding falls, Ukemi Health also teaches how to land more safely using calm, controlled movement and padded mats. The approach is inspired by martial arts but fully adapted for everyday people of all ages.
No experience is required and all movements are optional. Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace, observe when needed, and rest at any time.
What You Will Learn
You will learn why falls happen so quickly, simple balance and stability strategies for daily life, gentle fall protection techniques, how to get up safely after a fall, and ways to reduce fear while building confidence in movement.
Who This Is For
This workshop is open to adults of all ages, older adults, caregivers, and anyone who wants to feel more confident moving through daily life. You do not need to fall, kneel, or go to the ground to benefit from this class.
What to Expect
The class will take place on padded mats in a calm, supportive environment. Instruction is slow and guided, with plenty of options to watch, rest, or modify movements. The goal is safety, comfort, and confidence.
What to Bring
Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle. Socks or light athletic shoes are recommended.
Instructors
The workshop is led by Bryan DePhillip, a USA Judo Black Belt, NASM Senior Fitness Specialist, and NASM Certified Personal Trainer. He is joined by Ryan Everhart, a USA Judo Black Belt, professional MMA coach, and CDC HEADS UP Concussion Certificate holder.
