Aikido is a non-competitive, non-aggressive martial art. Aikido started in Japan, and now it is practised all over the world. Aikido is about improving yourself from within. It is about developing awareness.... of ourselves, of each other, and of our environment.
  
In the dojo, kids learn to cooperate with each other, to move with grace and confidence. We do stretching and warm up exercises and energetic games that improve balance, coordination and concentration. We introduce aikido principles and techniques, especially emphasizing the art of falling and rolling.

Kids' body awareness and self-confidence increases noticeably.

We create an atmosphere of respect for each other and the practice place. Along with having fun, this is how we polish our spirit.



 

Each session concludes with a one or two day weekend intensive called a gasshuku. These are special days where the children's learning curve and confidence is greatly increased. Testing will take place during these times, for those students who are ready.
