Huron Valley Aikikai is pleased to announce the formation of a
children's class for kids ages 5-10. Classes will run every Saturday afternoon
from 12:15 to 1:00 PM beginning on Saturday, January 12, 2008 and running
through Saturday, May 24, 2008 (with a break Easter weekend).
Our children's class will feature an engaging combination of exercises,
games, and Aikido techniques with the goal of helping kids to develop their
minds and bodies in a fun and structured setting. Parents are welcome to join
their children on the mat as well at no charge.
The principal instructor for the children's class is HVA member John
Hubbard. John began studying aikido in 1999 at Central Illinois Aikikai in
Urbana, Illinois. He has practiced at Huron Valley Aikikai since 2005. He is the
father of two daughters, ages 5 and 3. John works for Ford Motor
Company.
The fee for the winter/spring classes is $135, which includes both
instruction and a gi (uniform). To encourage a group spirit and a
feeling of cooperation among the participants, we ask that all children enroll
as close to the beginning of the course as possible. As the program grows, we
may consider offering the class on a more continuous basis with a monthly fee
structure.
If you are interested please let us know by filling out the short form
below and John will contact you shortly! You may also pre-pay for the course
using the PayPal secure payment button below (PayPal or major credit
