Aikido of Champlain Valley

Children can attend up to three classes each week. Parents are also welcome on the mat! Our classes provide fun, focused and safe Aikido training in a nurturing environment. A typical children’s class includes physical conditioning, games and methods to cultivate inner calm, especially under stress. Children discover how to apply Aikido’s philosophy of peaceful conflict resolution to their daily lives.

Adult and teenager membership rates includes unlimited classes, five days a week.

Supports families and children who cannot afford to pay for all or part of the membership dues. The program also allows the child to receive a keikogi (uniform) that will be returned to the dojo if the child chooses to leave.

Children ages 6-12 can try an Aikido class for free. A parent or guardian will need to complete and sign an application and release form before the child begins training.

Allows 6 year-olds to join if they are focused and coordinated. Parents are encouraged to train with their child if they think it will help their child’s focus.

Dynamically balance technical training with teamwork exercises and games. The games provide a fun dimension to the focus of Aikido, while emphasizing fundamental principles of the techniques themselves, such as centering, blending, teamwork and non-violent conflict resolution. We also teach some yoga during warm-ups to promote flexibility and unified movement, essential qualities of the young athlete and martial artist.

Adult body arts and conditioning classes are offered throughout the week, focusing on various aspects of Aikido training.

Introductory classes are oriented specifically towards new students. In these classes, students learn basic Aikido movements ( tai sabaki ), the art of falling ( ukemi ) and techniques ( waza ). In addition, we emphasize conditioning to build stamina, flexibility and core power, and relaxation training to increase soft power, efficiency and well-being. Some find it intimidating to join a dojo; the introductory classes are designed to support people with little or no experience in Aikido or other martial arts. We also encourage students with prior Aikido training to take these classes in order to learn our basic techniques and unique methods of ukemi.
