Children's Program

Aikido is great for kids!

Aikido's cooperative approach & emphasis on resolving conflict peacefully makes it unique and intriguing for children. Aikido training helps improve: focus, self-esteem, relationship skills, motor skills and fitness. This defensive martial art is taught in a structured environment using traditional methods as well as games and drills.

Children's classes are taught by Marilyn St. John who holds a 4th degree black belt in Aikido and a 5th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do. She has been teaching and practicing martial arts for over 30 years and you would be hard pressed to find a more competent, qualified instructor anywhere.

Children ages 7-11 are welcome according to the schedule. Consult our schedule for children's program class times, and feel free to bring them in to watch a children's class, or an adult class. Children may take a free introductory class!
