Aikido is dynamic, non-competitive
and fun. Different from most martial arts, it is defensive, not aggressive.
We
practice relaxing & centering under pressure, so reactions of fear
and anger become less automatic in all situations. Aikido cultivates
the unification of body, mind and spirit.

Samurai Sprouts offers the joyful practices and beneficial principles of Aikido without the technical rigor. Students explore basic life skills such as centering, and cooperation. Games, stories, art, sharing, nature and creative movement are woven together to nourish the whole child.
