Introduction for Stakeholders: Breakfalls for Life – 12 May 26 – Online

Exploring Delivery Options Breakfalls for Life is a new mental‑fitness initiative designed to support the wellbeing of people across the judo community. Built around the judo principle of learning how to fall safely, the programme uses this familiar concept as a powerful metaphor for understanding emotions, recognising early signs of mental strain, and developing practical strategies to “catch yourself before you hit the ground.”

The pilot workshop delivered by NIJF was described as relaxed, engaging, and accessible to everyone — including those with no judo experience.
Participants explored how feelings work, how stress builds, and how to build resilience using simple, relatable tools. The feedback highlighted how strongly the judo community connected with the message and how valuable it was to have an open, stigma‑free space to talk about mental fitness.

As we look to expand Breakfalls for Life across clubs, parents, coaches, and young people, we want to understand how best to deliver it. The programme can be offered in two formats:

A live webinar, making it accessible to all clubs regardless of location, ideal for parents, volunteers, and coaches who prefer flexible participation.
An in‑person workshop, recreating the interactive, community‑focused feel of the pilot session and allowing deeper discussion within club environments.

We are now asking judo stakeholders across the Judo community, whether they would support bringing Breakfalls for Life to their clubs and members — and which delivery format would work best for their community.

Your feedback will help shape how we roll out this important initiative and ensure it reaches the people who will benefit most.
