Student Testimony

“I signed up for the program because I have had a couple of falls, which were quite painful and could have been even worse. I knew people who practice judo get thrown all the time in training, and so must know something about falling safely.

After observing a class, I felt that while it would be challenging, it was something I could do.

The class has met my expectations in every way. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and very thorough. I also really appreciate the positive attitude they bring to the class. All of them have a great desire to see that students learn techniques that will help them stay safe as they age.”

“When a friend told me about The Falling Class, I was skeptical. Really? A class that teaches you how to fall? But when you think about it, as you age, it becomes one of the things you fear the most. It's something we all have in common, no matter age.

After my first class, it made sense that Atlanta Judo Midtown would teach such a class.

I totally feel supported by the entire team at Atlanta Judo Midtown. The kindness, generosity, and support provided are what make the class so great. I feel no pressure if I cannot complete an exercise due to a lack of mobility. The encouragement is done with compassion and respect.

I would recommend The Falling Class to other seasoned youngsters (I hate terms like old, elderly, and senior citizen). It builds confidence in your physical self, and if you do fall, you have been taught some techniques that could potentially keep you from breaking a bone or suffering severe physical damage.”
