Youth/Adult Combined Class (Ages 10+)
Due to a small number of students, Tom-Sensei is able to deliver very personalized instruction to his students. In addition, the small class size allows the unique opportunity for youth to train with adults and
vice versa. Many parents have found training in Aikido with their children to be a deep bonding experience. Youth and adults are encouraged to calmly respond to
conflict with harmonious, respectful and effective solutions.
Self-defense techniques are developmentally appropriate for youth-youth
interactions and youth-adult interactions. Interactive games, and
"making it real" are vehicles used to synergize the best in each
student, their training partners, and the group as a whole. With an
emphasis on collaboration vs. competition, students experience a
supportive and joyful atmosphere for self-defense training, growth and
peak performance at San Tan Aikido Kokikai.
