Ages: 4-12
Children’s classes are separated by age groups: 4-5 year olds and 6-12
year olds. All age groups can benefit from learning Aikido. Children
are avid learners of new material. They enjoy challenging their young
minds and bodies and take special pride in mastering new skills. In
addition, they require regular exercise to stay fit both physically and
mentally.nstruction is initially centered around physical exercises designed
to improve motor skills and increase physical coordination. The
children are then taught how to fall without hurting themselves. After
the students are comfortable with falling, we introduce basic martial
arts principles of movement. In conjunction with these principles, we
instruct them in the techniques of Aikido. Cooperation and teamwork are
stressed as the more accomplished children assist the newer students in
developing their skills.Students must commit to attend practice at least once a week.Kids ages seven to 12 are eligible for the Aikikai’s Aikido Kids Camp
summer program, where they can learn the basics of aikido, a
non-competitive martial art also called "the way of harmony." Midday
Japanese cultural activities include haiku, origami, ink brush
painting, and learning to draw manga superheroes! Field trips include
trips to the Metropolitan Museum, Brooklyn Museum, and Brooklyn Botanic Garden as well as picnics and sprinklers in a nearby playground.
