Classes for Youth

Classes for Youth

These classes introduce youth to the basic concepts and techniques of Aikido.
● FOR WHO	The Program is specifically tailored for youths 12 to 18 years of age with or without prior experience who are interested in trying out Aikido.
● FOCUS	With an emphasis on safety, youth learn the fundamentals of Aikido practice including etiquette, footwork, body movement, posture, positioning, basic techniques, falling safely and weapons practice, all under the supervision of senior instructors.
● BENEFITS	Among many other benefits, Aikido practice improves health, increases flexibility, sharpens reflexes, enhances coordination, improves body alignment and promotes relaxation. And of course it's a fun and excellent way to learn self-defense and the most modern of Japanese martial arts.

When and where are the classes held?

Classes take place on Wednesdays from 5:00 to 5:45 pm and on Fridays from 5:15 to 6:00 pm at the dojo. Each of these classes includes Aikido, jo (wooden staff) and bokken (wooden sword) practice.
Youth are also invited to participate in the Weapons classes for Adults that take place outdoors in High Park from 10:00 to 11:30 am on the first Saturday of the month, weather permitting. If due to bad weather these classes cannot be held outdoors, a Weapons class for Adults is held at the dojo at 10:45 am, and Youth can participate in this class via Zoom.
