Summary
Matt Scheib, a judo practitioner, judo school owner, and professional stuntman, explains how Ukemi (falling techniques) translate into teaching people 55+ to reduce injury, fear, and stigma around falls, which he frames as a normal part of life. We discuss barriers created by fall-prevention-only language, the importance of changing the narrative around falling, making movement more fun and helping people gain confidence instead of avoiding risk altogether.
