Ki-Aikido for Children's

By cultivating good habits at an early age, Ki-Aikido and Ki Development give children a foundation they can rely on for a lifetime of positive growth. While childrens’ bodies are growing, so are their minds. It is natural to develop the two together. In a physically active and cooperative learning environment, children learn the martial art Ki-Aikido. As they grow, they learn how to apply these lessons to all activities: school, play, sports, and relationships. At the heart of the Children’s Program is the development of positive habits.

Children are taught how to concentrate, how to relax without losing power, maintain good posture and to approach challenges with a positive outlook. During playful physical activity, they learn strength in Ki-Aikido is a matter of strength of mind, and application of Ki principles. Relative size and muscular strength become less important. Instructors demonstrate this, give children time to try themselves, and provide helpful correction.

The Ki Society considers the Children’s Program to be its foundation program. Through regular training at the dojo, children acquire positive habits they will retain into adulthood so they can make a positive contribution to their community.
