Aikido has many benefits for children:
1) Since all Aikido movement is natural and rational, children find they are having fun and exercising at the same time.
2) Aikido is non-competitive, so children develop at their own pace. And since they never feel inferior or superior they learn to co-operate with their fellow trainees.
3) They develop a natural hierarchy based on experience and respect.They enjoy this order and always feel they belong.
4) Aikido is non-aggressive so children develop a calm sense of purpose and self-confidence.
5) Discipline and etiquette are fundamental when we practice Aikido. Great importance is given to our etiquette, respect of one another, developing a non-violent attitude and adopting a positive and proper style of living.
6) Through respiratory and concentration exercises, the child develops mentally.
7) Aikido develops the co-ordination of Body and Mind.
Why not try Aikido and improve your child’s health and well being.
