About the Kids Program

All children need training and encouragement as they grow, and martial training provides that unique enviornment for a child to not only grow, but to thrive.  At DC Aikido, our staff and instructors have developed a one-of-a-kind age-based curriculum that will serve each and every child whether they are a beginner or have some experience.  We are here and ready to meet your child where  they are when they enter our dojo, and to help them create and achieve success for themselves and their peers. 

How Classes Work

Our Kid's Program is separated into 4 sub-programs (Pre-Aiki Kids/Aiki Kids/Young Samurai/Teens).  These sub-programs are organized by age-group, not skill level.  All beginners are eligible to join any class that fits their repsective age-group and may join any time!

The schedule for each sub-program listed above will be offered each and every week, year-round.  The class offerings are designed to be flexible with your schedule.  Most families find 1 or 2 days that work for their regular schedule, and may substitute a day here or there if a conflict arises.

We offer monthly memberships for a 1 or 2 day per week, training regimen and discounts for siblings or multiple family member training.
