Studying any martial art, and aikido in particular, has tremendous transformative benefits for kids.  Apart from the physical benefits, studying a martial art improves concentration; teaches children self-discipline and respect, both for themselves and for others.

At School Yoshinkan Aikido Ryu, teaching kids is a vital part of what we do!  In all our classes experienced teachers provide quality instruction for students and create a safe, fun-filled atmosphere in which kids learn and grow.

Kids aikido provides students the space to exercise and move around freely, the opportunity to make friends and the sense of achievement that comes from remembering new techniques and gaining the ability to do something they couldn’t do before.

​

Apart from regular training we also hold various activities, such as our annual seminars and trainings courses for kids, summer camps and the Junior Aikido Tournaments (Japan and Moscow), which are aimed at encouraging interaction between students and at furthering the development of life and achievement goals.
