Junior Classes


Kyu Shin Do Aikido has a family-friendly policy and actively encourages parents and children to practise together. We have several classes each week where parents and their children (min age 7 years old) can study Aikido together, and some of the senior instructors in our association have offspring who are junior black belts!

We have several clubs social events during the year which all club members and their families are welcome to attend, including various visits to the beach, brunches, and the annual club picnic at Wenderholme.

Alongside the joint family training sessions we also have dedicated junior classes which are supervised by Black Belt only fully qualified instructors, who all hold CNZ Coaching Certificate and are first aid qualified to provide a safe, fun and structured environment for your child to learn in.
