Kids Aikido has been part of Aikido in Bermuda almost since Smith Sensei first opened the dojo at the old Cobb’s Hill Location.
In Aikido, as in virtually all Japanese martial arts, there are both physical and mental aspects of training. The physical training in Aikido is diverse, covering both general physical fitness and conditioning, as well as specific techniques. Because a substantial portion of any Aikido curriculum consists of throws, beginners learn how to safely fall or roll. The specific techniques for attack include both strikes and grabs; the techniques for defence consist of throws and pins. After basic techniques are learned, students study freestyle defence against multiple opponents, and techniques with weapons.
The children’s program is run by Eugene O’Connor Sensei and is open to children ages 7+
