We all fall, the young and the not-so-young. As we age, we begin to lose flexibility, and our reactions are not what they used to be.

If you (or someone you know) would like to improve your balance, gain confidence and reduce your chances of injury from falls or trips, please get in touch.

We would like to hear from you if you are over sixty or thereabouts, reasonably fit and healthy and interested in helping us shape this new course.

This is not just a course but an opportunity to learn and form a new social group. We encourage you to take an active part, enjoy the experience, and provide feedback and ideas to better meet your needs.

In the year ending 31/03/2021, Scotland had around 55,000 emergency hospital admissions for unintentional injuries. Falls were the most common cause in children and those aged 65 and over.

So, we are delighted to bring the Safe Falling - Safe Standing project to Dunfermline. Based on the Finding Your Feet programme, the content is rooted in safe ukemi practised in every judo club.

We are part of a worldwide research group working with academics and experienced coaches to reduce the severity of falls, reduce anxiety, and improve confidence while reducing their social and financial impacts.

Our classes are planned to run on Friday mornings, but other classes will be added subject to demand. No special equipment is needed. Wear comfortable clothes and exercise-appropriate trousers.

If you are unsure you can do the exercises or movements, don't worry. You work at your own pace, within your comfort zone, and progression is through micro-progressions as you gain more confidence.

Class Information

The class is limited to 12 individuals and lasts one hour each Friday morning from 09:30 to 10:30. The welcome pack and first session fully explain everything.
