Aikido for Kids in Western Mass.

This week I took the first step in settting up an "aikido for kids" class with the Union 38 school district in Western Massachusetts. My idea is to provide aikido principals with in good mix of games as well as some standard paired aikido practice.

Sounds good right?

Well, in my opinion, it's even better in practice. In the past I've assisted my teacher with a class for at risk teens. He provided a good mix of discipline, technique, and fun for the kids at the same time. I hope to emulate this process and provide an entry level introduction to aikido.
