Aikido, a martial way of harmony, for ages 8 and older
In our Kid's Aikido Program we provide martial arts classes in Aikido for children and adolescents ages 8 to 12 (some children may not be ready for Aikido and will be assessed on an individual basis). We provide a caring and compassionate environment. Our goals for the program are to teach conflict resolution skills, increase attention span, increase awareness of surroundings, and the ability to focus. Aikido instruction for kids includes the focus on health and discipline found in other martial arts for kids, such as karate for kids, but with greater emphasis on compassion and conflict resolution. Our instructors help students learn to take care of their partner and keep them safe. This directly relates to their school life: working with others for a mutually beneficial outcome. Because Aikido practice is cooperative and non-competitive, it is well suited to these goals.
