Saturday Children's Aikido
Sandringham, Auckland
A Typical Session
Children arrive ready to train in aikido under experienced instructors who guide each movement with clear demonstrations and hands-on feedback. The class focuses on safe falling, basic throws, and partner exercises that build coordination and focus. Kids work in pairs or small groups, practising techniques at their own pace while learning respect and awareness on the mat. 🥋
This session suits children aged 7 to 12 who are new to martial arts or already enjoy physical activity. Beginners receive plenty of individual attention, while returning students refine their skills through repetition and light sparring drills. The atmosphere stays energetic yet structured, helping young participants develop confidence and body control.
The class runs every Saturday morning and welcomes both members and visitors. Parents often stay to watch the progress their children make week to week.
