Aikido is a peaceful art form that naturally complements a child's development. Aikido of New Orleans' kids curriculum focuses on fundamentals in footwork, ukemi (rolling and falling) and technique. Games are used as teaching tools to build skills. Kids classes are a lot of fun but full of challenges for both the mind and body. In addition to teaching self-defense, children's classes emphasize practice in self-discipline, body awareness and partner communication.
Kids age 5 to 14 can participate in children’s classes. Older teenagers may join adult classes.
See the class schedule for the current times for children's classes.
