Santa Rosa Aikikai
Kid's Classes
|
- The goal of our children's program is to give young people between six to thirteen years of age a very basic introduction to Aikido.
- The structure of the classes and the techniques taught do not substantially differ from our adult classes. However, in kid's class we strive to keep the environment light and fun while maintaining gentle discipline. This creates a safe atmosphere for children study Aikido, interact with their peers, and experience their bodies in a new and different way.
- We integrate games, physical exercises, and Aikido techniques into a dynamic system that promises to help your child connect to their physical form while developing some skill in martial arts.
- In today's world we ask children to sit in classrooms for hours on end at a time in their lives when they should be developing a relationship with their bodies - moving, running, and having physical contact with their peers. This class is a place where children can do all of those things, and at the same time develop self-discipline, a respect for authority, and, perhaps most importantly of all, a respect for each other.
