redirect attacks. Participants will be introduced to
aikido techniques and philosophy, and will focus

Aikido For Kids
Supervisor: Chad Drue
Aikido is a way of harmony, not combat. Children
who study Aikido develop and expand their
mental and physical awareness while learning
cooperation and respect for others. Instruction
begins with exercises to stretch and strengthen
young bodies and improve attention, coordination
and motor skills. Falling with confidence is a big
part of training followed by learning the principles
of movement which allows students to practice
techniques with partners.
