This class is ideal for those who want their children to practice effective and inclusive ways of dealing with conflict while enjoying a traditional martial arts experience. Children practice Aikido techniques, falling and tumbling skills, and taking action that is centered and confident. Other Aikido-related activities and games that encourage awareness, respect, and cooperation with circumstances are included in our curriculum. The class for kids 7-12 runs on an ongoing basis year-round.


Monday is observation day in the children's Aikido class.
Sensei is available those days for questions and registrations.
You may register your child on other days. Call and we'll gladly accomodate you. Please plan to see an entire class. Use directions on our website when you visit.


"PreKido" for Children 4-6


Children 4-6 will really enjoy this class as they build foundational skills for Aikido training, and indeed, life. Kids learn rolling, tumbling, and falling skills, balance and centering, and cooperation with circumstances. Activities are presented in playful ways to capture the interest and imagination of little ones. This class is co-instructed by Dave Goldberg Sensei, and his wife, Deanna. She is also an Aikido practitioner, and a school counselor by profession. Dave and Deanna Goldberg are the parents of twin boys in this age group.

       

The PreKido class runs in 8-week sessions on Fridays from 4:15 to 5:00. The investment is only $85 for the class. Next session is April 11 - May 30, 2008. The class is capped at 10, so register early.
