Make Aikido a part of your child’s life
Would you like your child to learn better self-discipline, self-confidence, and self-defense while engaging in a fun activity?
If so, then the Children’s Aikido Martial Art Program will be well worth the investment in you child’s future health, physical fitness, and well-being. After school and weekend classes are offered for school-aged children under the direction of Gentil Pennewaert Shihan, Chief Instructor and Charn Pennewaert Fukushidoin, Assistant Instructor.
Pennewaert Shihan has over 40 years experience in martial arts and is a second generation student of the founder of Aikido (Morihei Ueshiba). He has been teaching children Aikido for over fifteen years. Children may attend as many or as few of the scheduled classes each month as fits their wants and needs. Aikido for kids is the best choice because it offers them valuable lessons that they can continue to help them develop focus, awareness, and the concept of harmony.
The Aikido children’s program is also available to schools and associations that would like to incorporate the gentle art of self-defense. Since we focus on cooperation rather than competition or aggressive martial arts training, Aikido is ideal for homeschool programs. Our Aikido for kids program is an hour long class of basic Aikido techniques, stretches, rolls, and games. A professional mat is provided for training and uniforms are required.
