    BIO:

    Ajax holds a 4th dan black belt in Iwama Ryu Aikido and has trained for over 20 years, He’s saved his arse several times by knowing how to fall over and get back up unharmed. He ran Aikido workshops at Esoteric in 2023, 2024 and returns for 2025,

    SYNOPSIS:

    Aikido involves lots of throws, and to be able to train safely, we need to be able take falls. This is called “ukemi”. In this workshop we’ll take a look at sit falls, backward and forwards rolls and practice a technique (or two) that we can fall out of. We live in a pretty peaceful society, and accidentally falling over is more likely than getting into a street fight.
    So it’s a great skill to acquire and practice. And one that can literally save your arse!

    Esoteric would like to acknowledge that the festival is on the traditional countries of Dja Dja Wurrung. We pay respect to the Elders past & present and thank them for the opportunity to host our event on their land. For more information www.djadjawurrung.com.au
