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 seeking more juniors students: being very Covid cautious we stopped training during last year’s restrictions, and are seeking to build up our lively classes again. We are a not-for-profit organisation teaching the art of aikido, based in Kaiwharawhara, in our 27th year. Classes Monday (Kids, around 8 - 12 yrs) and Wednesday (Teens) 5:30pm during school terms, $80 per term. City Dojo, 132 Hutt Rd, Kaiwharawhara, Wellington, directly above Animates pet shop. Turn up and give it a try - first 3 lessons free. And parents, we have classes at 6:30pm for you too :-). Contact Conrad at conrad@aikido.org.nz or 021 843 467, or visit www.aikido.org.nz.
