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.

The children are our future, so it is important to invest positive structure into their lives. At such a young age, it is important that parents understand that the most common and simplest task must be learned. At ages 4-6, the child's body is growing and many experiences for them are brand-new. We introduce the kids to exercise's and challenges that teach them some of the practices listed.
