Children's Essays

In our Children's Program, we strive to create a learning environment that fosters the development and integration of each child's mind, body and spirit. Writing essays about one's Aikido experiences and how they apply to life on and off the mat, enables the child to think about and apply their training experiences beyond the practice itself. Each child is required to write and turn in an essay prior to their Aikido exam. There is a specific Aikido related topic for each rank. The following are some examples of the topics.
What do I like about Aikido?
What is blending on and off the mat?
What does it mean to take a stand?
How has my relationship to myself and other's changed since taking Aikido?
