Safe Falls

The conference took place on the 27th & 28th of November and was hosted at Tokai University.

The International Conference brought together academics, practitioners, Olympians and enthusiasts from around the world to address the crucial topic of ensuring Safer Falls for the Elderly through the use of Judo techniques. With representatives from 14 countries, the event showcased the global commitment to improving the well-being of Older People.

Different nations presented their ideas on how the principles of Judo and Ukemi can be applied to Safer falling and then gave a short demonstration on what a class could consist of. The exchange of knowledge and experiences will undoubtedly contribute to the development of judo-based programs for Elderly people worldwide.
