$50 coupon towards a 'getting started youth program' at Aikido of Maine (Japanese Martial Arts)

The goal of our youth program is to provide a safe, positive and non-competitive environment for the practice and study of Aikido. As a martial art, Aikido fosters a healthy outlook, develops respect for self and others, and cultivates flexibility and coordination. The principles of centering and blending our energy with that of our partner are also stressed. We work with parents and welcome their input. Challenge and fun are essential elements to our children's program. Our classes are structured in age breaks to provide the best learning oppertunity.There is some age overlap and children will be placed in the class that is best suited to their needs. Our Youth classes are taught by Gary Small sensei 5th dan. Interested parents are welcome to come and watch class and speak with the other parents about our program.
