Aikido teaches children how to defend themselves, without kicking or punching .
Instead, students learn to use an attacker's energy against themselves with controlling joint locks, throws, take-downs and pins. Aikido is a non-competitive art allowing children of different sizes and ages to learn and grow in a friendly cooperative atmosphere. This non-competitive environment guarantees that students progress at their own rates. Palm Beach Aikikai is concerned with every child's safety. There are at least 2 adult instructors present each class.
