Aikido Juniors Instructors

Our Aikido Juniors Program

Aikido Juniors are designed as high-paced, fun activity classes. Kids aged between 5 to 15 years old will learn skills such as ukemi (break falls), kihon dosa (basic movements), and play games that help develop their Aikido skills.

Physical challenges are set individually to a level that is difficult but achievable, so children receive a great sense of satisfaction and a boost to their self-confidence and self-esteem. In addition, emphasis is placed on group work, cooperation and respect. Training is always done in a safe environment.

Through Aikido, children are exposed to basic elements of the Japanese language and culture.

In today’s fast-paced world, a child’s path to growing up represents vast challenges. Aikido classes teach kids to:

• Be respectful of others and their environment

• Develop their natural physical ability and fitness

• Conquer fears and protect themselves from injury

• Develop good posture and balance

• Become confident and capable

• Build a healthy sense of self-esteem

• Develop a willingness and ability to work alongside, help, lead, and teach others

• Develop a willingness and ability to focus and work hard to achieve worthy goals

• Appreciate the value of self-discipline

• Have fun and socialise with others
