Aikido helps children develop a physical grace, a peaceful mind, and a healthy, vibrant spirit and is an excellent self-defense system.

Children train in a lively, healthy and relaxed atmosphere that they enjoy, yet the purpose and the skills are always serious and real.  

Students work with the instructor and each other, and a great deal of the class training is with partners, so children learn how to trust and help themselves and each other. 

This helps them direct their energy more positively and effectively and gain self-confidence, in a non-competitive environment to teach children to utilize their full potential.
