Aikido for Children

A Martial Arts student has a real head start in life.

So how do we teach Aikido to children?

The curriculum we teach in our children's Aikido class is roughly along the same lines as the adult curriculum but without certain joint locking techniques that could be potentially harmful to young growing bones. Games are also played as a reward for good work and to help build social skills. As such it is very important that our juniors understand the meaning of consideration for others, and the importance of trust. Fun, as always is a key element.

Life Skills Training with Shudokan Aikido Oxford

Life skills are an important part of what we teach in our children's Aikido class. A successful Martial Arts student is punctual, respectful, considerate of others, and has self-discipline. Martial Arts students also have an increased sense of responsibility as well as a higher sense of self-esteem and sociability, which means students are less likely to succumb to destructive peer pressure.

We at the Shudokan Aikido Oxford believe in developing your child into a happy and successful individual. Whilst our training will help your child develop physical strength, balance, coordination, agility and self-discipline, it will also impact positively on all other areas of your child's life.
