Why is Aikido Good for Kids?

Aikido is:

       - a non-aggressive martial art
       - self-defense which emphasizes awareness of surroundings and how to escape from holds and strikes
        - builds confidence from knowing one can completely neutralize an attack without excessive force

Aikido does not rely on size, or speed, or weight, and does not require athletic talent.
Students' progress is at their own pace and we do not guarantee ranking according to a rigid schedule.
Black-belt ranking to be a recognition of maturity as much as of skill, thus black belts are not given to children but build character, confidence and skill.

Aikido teaches kids to be calm so if they need to sit still at school, or concentrate on homework, or focus during sports.
Aikido has the benefits of martial arts training: good physical conditioning and the generation of confidence, politeness, and consideration.

Aikido gives kids a positive view and teaches that you must work in harmony and that if you make trouble, you will lose. But if your mind is calm, and positive, you can make something good out of whatever the universe hands you.
