Lil’ Samurai (online & in Dojo)
*AGES 4-7*
This class is offered online in addition to in the dojo. To receive a Zoom invite, please contact the dojo. In Dojo classes follow strict COVID-19 safety policies including social distancing, hand sanitizing, health checks, mask use, etc.
Description: Our Lil’ Samurai program is engineered to introduce young children, ages 4-7, to basic Aikido concepts. Classes are taught in a traditional dojo setting. Courtesy, respect and cooperation are fundamental lessons, and built into the formal beginning of each class. Children learn a variety of activities and skills, including stretching and playful warm-ups.
Time is devoted to learning the fundamental movements of the Ki-Aikido martial arts at a level that is appropriate for small children. We focus on making the class a fun way to get exercise and teach the basic concepts the children will need to know as they grow older.
A Ki-Aikido art consists of one person attacking and another person performing the Ki-Aikido technique (made up of throws, re-directions and pins). Because attackers are frequently thrown to the ground, it is necessary to learn how to fall safely. These skills are taught at the pace small children are able to learn them. Other students in the class train with respect of each other’s abilities in this area.
Lessons are often summarized at the end of class, showing students how the day’s learning can be applied to their life outside the dojo, including some of the following applications:

how to maintain focus (called “one-point”)
how to stay calm in stressful situations
how to respect themselves and others
how to work with a partner through cooperation
learn to work hard and not give up
learn how to exercise the body and push themselves physically
how to use their skills in daily life

improve relationships with friends, siblings, parents & teachers
improve school performance
improve performances in sports
cope with bullying and peer pressure
learn how to see a task through to completion

how to resolve conflicts without fighting
how to defend themselves by re-directing attacks away from them safely
