Welcome Tri-City Aikido
Welcome to Tri City Aikido, a local place where you can study the martial art of Aikido. At Tri City Aikido, training can be a little different than some Aikido schools due to the freedom of interpretation. Martial arts’ training at Tri City Aikido focuses on the polishing of the physical movements and the refining of the character. In other words it will be a positive experience, and the rewards will be many and reap dividends.
Currently, the art of Aikido has been branded by some as a dance of some sort and not a martial art to say the least. There are many books and videos on the web to prove this point. I am here to say that this is the farthest thing from the truth. Because of this, Tri City Aikido was founded. A school devoted to preserving the martial applications and principles that were once taught and practiced years ago.

Aikido For Tots
Aikido for Tots (ages 4-6) is a program that was developed to introduce our very young children into the world of martial arts. At such a young age it's not necessary to learn actual self defense movements. At Tri-City Aikido, we removed the martial application from the practice so it is a pleasant environment followed by a pleasant experience for your child.
At Tri City Aikido, your child will develop life skills. For example: how to respect others, How to take pride in everything they do, leadership skills, How to set goals, How to focus their minds so their body can follow direction.
Aikido is not a sport martial art, so your child will not be put in a situation that will require them to strike another child for reward. What this does is create an ego-free environment.

Children's Aikido
The Aikido class for children is much different then most might expect from a martial arts school. The class is based on character development, along with discipline and encouragement to learn. There is a tremendous amount of interaction between the students and teachers foremost because of the Question and Answer sessions we have. This serves the purpose of activating your child's brain to get them to think!
We have a cooperative and supportive training environment, which means that if your child is training with another who is more experienced than yours, this other child will share to the best of their ability the knowledge needed to help your child accomplish the task at hand. Of course in time, your child will also do the sharing with children of lesser experience. In a big way, they will become leaders and teachers themselves.
