Aikido for juniors
Aikido is a martial art with a difference, its focus being on defence rather than attack: a non-violent, defensive art. Aikido is renowned for its benefits for self-control, co-ordination and posture, and like all martial arts promotes confidence and provides fun, fitness and friendship. We are a not-for-profit organisation teaching the art of aikido, based in Kaiwharawhara, in our 30th year.
Classes for ‘Aiki Kids’ (around 6+ to 12 years) 5:30pm every Monday in school terms, and our ‘Aiki Teens’ train every Monday and Wednesday 6:30pm.
First 3 lessons free, then $80 per term, with 10% discount for families.
City Dojo, 132 Hutt Rd, Kaiwharawhara, Wellington, directly above Animates pet shop.
Turn up and give Aikido a try - and parents, you can join in too :-).

I run a dance school for boys and girls called Leaping Lizards School of Dance. We offer classes focused on fun and inclusivity for all children, starting from age 2 and running right through to teenagers. I'm hoping to encourage some of the students from your school to get involved! We offer jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, ballet, tap, and pre-school classes.
Kind Regards
The Leaping Lizards Team
