This is a good way to join us. You can join at any time and learn about the dojo and practice

Our youth martial art program offers children 5 to 16 the opportunity to learn and practice in a non-competitive yet physically challenging environment. Our age specific classes are a fun and exciting way to teach children important life skills, including: self-defense, leadership, cooperation, respect, discipline, and more. Come and check out how aikido can improve your child's life!

Hi Gary, We are very grateful everyday for what you and your teachings have done for Nicholas. He isn't a 'typical' 16 year old...thank goodness. He is articulate, self assured, most of the time and seems to have a solid core thanks to Aikido. Your teachings will help him to make healthy choices for himself as he approaches independence and sees others around him not making good decisions for themselves. We really enjoyed ourselves. Nick said what a great time he had. He enjoyed spending time with everyone outside of the Dojo in a social environment. Before we got there he didn't know if he could 'fit in' as he only knew everyone from classes. It is so exciting to see Nick progress and excel in Aikido. He just loves it and is very committed to it. He was disappointed his Dad wasn't there. It is very important for him to maintain healthy male role models so that he can choose the way he wants to live his life. Again thanks to you and Ania for all you do. Gratefully.

I never really understood what Aikido was all about, but now that I'm doing it, I believe it will be important in my life. It is a place of peace for me. It helps me chill down and work my body, and is teaching me discipline and respect. Aikido is like a place of peace, like when you do yoga. It is quiet. It is spiritual. It makes me feel like I am settled down. The words I say wash away my sadness and bring happiness to my life. Aikido is good for your body. I stretch, and work my muscles, and get active. It helps me to be strong. My friend Rowan, who has a green belt, says it will help her defend herself in the future if she ever needs to. The breathing in and out gets my anger out. Aikido is about body and mind. You have to bring your A game. It teaches me about discipline and respect. We respect the sensei by speaking in a quiet voice. I learn to respect myself by keeping my cool. When I do that, I don't get in people's faces and say the wrong thing. As you can see, Aikido will be very important in my life.

"For my part, you have taught me so much and have given me such joy that it is impossible to describe. Sure, I started late, but better late than not at all. Aikido has really improved my life. I know that you and Ania are humble and that it is hard for you two to accept such praise and gratitude, but you deserve it. I so appreciate the time you take with everyone of us to polish our skills and our spirits. Plus, you both make me laugh! "
