Kid's Aikido

 

We offer our classes for children 5-12yrs old. In this class we first focus on mind/body coordination aspect of Aikido, as well as the non-combatant philosophy that will help kids deal with the conflicts they routinely encounter in their lives. Being a kid isn't easy. Being a kid is full of choices and consequences for those choices. We try to help kids make better decisions through physical analogy provided by Aikido. Aikido is incredibly effective form of self-defense and doesn't rely on size or strength. Aikido is non-competitive and teaches life skills. Aikido, unlike other martial arts that just teach you how to kick and punch, requires intensive mind and body coordination. The techniques can be difficult for adults to learn and practice, and the methodology of Aikido can frazzle little minds a bit. That is why much of our hard stuff is hidden in games we play to help kids learn at their own pace while having fun
