Aikido for the Mind, Body, and Spirit
Aikido's physical training itself improves the teen’s physical health and coordination skills. When the teen’s life feels chaotic, the dojo can be a place of order and respect. The teen will learn how to use gentle power to solve problems rather than aggression or anger. There is also the opportunity to develop skills in leadership and mentoring. The spirit of non-competition in aikido can be a haven for teens who struggle in school. The practice of aikido improves concentration in all areas of life.
