Aikido for Kids
Learning self-reliance
Aikido is an excellent fit for children, teaching self-reliance, fitness, care and cooperation. We teach from beginners up, blending the core techniques with falling and rolling practice and games designed to foster balance and concentration.
Classes tend to start with light warm-ups, move to rolling and falling practice, simplified technique and close with games. As their skills progress over time, we move from simple balance breaks and rolls to wristlocks and throws, and practice with the sword and staff. Even the youngest children can learn and enjoy the practice.
Students can expect to be belt-tested around every two months.
For children ages 6-12
