Benefits of Aikido

Testimonials

"The experience for the students was very positive, and the ability to focus definitely spills over into their academics. My only hope is that we can do it more often."  -Classroom teacher

"My younger daughter learned to focus more, and my older daughter showed better-than-normal ability to take risks and try new things. Rather than giving up after not being able to do something... she kept practicing. I would love for my children to continue."  -Parent 

"The Aikido program was a very positive influence on our students’ levels of concentration and inner discipline."  - School Administrator
