LEARN TO FALL

Face Your Fears & Build Your Falling Resilience!

Created By

Barb Brown & Litza Bixler

New Classes Coming Winter 2026!

LTF teaches participants how to fall safely and recover quickly, using simple, easy-to-understand language. It is open to all adults who can go down to the floor and get back up independently, and is especially valuable for anyone who has experienced a fall and wants to rebuild their confidence and falling resilience.

Because these skills build progressively, participants should plan to attend the full course.

Aikido of Madison

Classes are held at Aikido of Madison, a stunning martial arts studio with a large padded floor in the heart of Madison’s east side.

Learn to Fall is a six-week course where participants actively practice falling, tripping, and getting back up to build resilience, confidence, and strength.

Participants develop movement skills in 4 areas:

    • Balance

    • Strength

    • Range

    • Awareness

This class received the Balance Stamp of Approval (BSOA) from Safe Communities in Madison. It includes balance-enhancing exercises in four key areas: static & dynamic balance; dual tasking; strengthening.
