Included in the techniques of Yoshinkan Aikido are: falling safely, offensive and defensive tactics.
Grand River Aikido Serves professionals from Police Services, Emergency Services, Security Services, Social Services and Health Professionals. We work closely with professional organizations to tailor practical programs dedicated to your needs, limitations and background. Yoshinkan Aikido is a practical effective tool for personal safety and self-defence. In addition, we promote situational awareness and avoiding confrontation as effective self-defence tools.
Children's Program
Our Children's Program consists of a comprehensive curriculum of personal safety, body awareness and self-defence for children. We focus on making classes enjoyable while teaching communication and respect.
Children learn how
- to avoid confrontation and de-escalate potentially dangerous situations.
- to fall safely whether it be on an icy road or from being pushed.
- to build self confidence.
- to build focus and concentration that can translate to better classroom comprehension and better grades.
In today's school climate the skills of violence avoidance and de-escalation are paramount to avoiding problems with School Administrations and Bullies. Fighting is not the answer to bullying, effective dialogue and the skills to avoid a physical confrontation are. Our Program offers your child an effective tool in their Personal Development Tool Box.
Grand River Aikido offers introductory classes at no charge.
