Bay Marin offers a unique opportunity for children to begin their study of Aikido in a supportive, non-competitive environment. Taught by Goto Sensei and his senior students, the childrens' classes focus on basic mental and physical practices of self-defense through harmonizing with an attacker rather than simply fighting back.

Goto Sensei takes an individual interest in the needs and goals of each of his young students. Through continued practice children learn to set goals and achieve them, develop self discipline, internal calmness, and increasing confidence and self esteem.
