About this event
A Community Offering Especially for Penn’s Village
Ukemi Project: Mastering the Art of Falling and Recovery
A 3 Session Series, Saturdays from 2-3PM
on the following dates:
Nov 15th, 2025
Dec 13th, 2025
and Jan 10th, 2026
Penn’s Village members are invited to participate in this valuable series around health and wellness. The program draws on the principles of formal martial arts practice and contact improvisation to teach participants safe falling techniques and ways to get off the floor—alone and with a partner. Mastering ukemi—the Japanese term for “falling technique”—can enhance balance, confidence, and overall mobility, while helping participants feel more in control of everyday movements such as walking, stair-climbing, and recovering from a trip or loss of balance.
Our long-term vision is for Zhang Sah students to share their practice with our Penns Village friends and help with fall-recovery techniques.
Program Details:
- Location: Zhang Sah Dojo, Queen Village, 530 Bainbridge St
- Time: 2pm
- Dates: Three monthly Saturday afternoons, November 15th, December 13th, and January 10th
- Cost: $10 per class (cash or check, collected on site)
- Accessibility: Participants will need to climb one set of stairs (with handrails on both sides). Shoes are not permitted inside the dojo; socks or bare feet are required.
- Waivers/Insurance: Provided by the instructor, Judith Sachs, through Anyone Can Move.
