Family aikido for parents and children
Practice aikido together with your child – quality time and exercise combined.
Family aikido is designed for children under 8 and their parents. In family aikido, children train together with their parents, creating a safe and supportive learning environment.
Who is family aikido for?
Family aikido is a good choice when you want a shared activity before school age. The goal is to introduce the child gently to budo, develop motor skills, and give the parent active quality time on the mat. The age limit is flexible, and the first class is free.
Book a trial class or see pricing — with an adult membership, family aikido is often included at no extra cost.
How does family aikido work?
In family aikido, preschool-aged children get their first introduction to martial arts. Parents provide a safe training partner and apparatus for various coordination and climbing exercises. Classes include games, basic movements, and simple aikido techniques that develop the child's motor skills.
