A new addition to our schedule is a PRE-SCHOOL CLASS starting in October for children ages 5-6 (See the full class Schedule). The pre-school class will focus on movement, balance, flexibility and physical fitness through games related to Aikido.
Children's Class is for ages 7-12. Children can attend up to three classes each week (See the full class Schedule). Wednesday and Saturday classes focus on conflict resolution and anti-bullying strategies through games and role play in addition to technical Aikido training. Each class provides fun, focused and safe Aikido training in a nurturing environment.
