Aikido Northshore, Sensei Lee, all of the teachers, and its members have become part of our trusted family for myself and my son (6). I started my son out at 4 years old, but was not sure if hed continue. However, Aikido Northshore offers such great diversity in activities and skill sets in its kids program, and he remains interested and engaged. It is amazing to see him progress and continue to grow in skills that are not just transferable to martial arts, but all conflict resolution, compassion, safety, and awareness in the modern world.
The flexible scheduling and drop-in availability is great for busy parents, and even allowed me to restart my training there as well. Although regular attendance is recommended for growth, Aikido Northshore gives a message of inclusion and openness to all members regardless of their ability to always schedule in practice around busy lives. All students are welcomed regardless of whether they are training several times per week or perhaps more sporadically. Membership allows flexibility for families to determine their optimal and individualized level of involvement.
Other advantages include always easy parking, I-405 accessible, and typically having multiple instructors in its kids classes to ensure all children are receiving both group and individualized attention. The colored belt and stripe system helps younger children feel that they are gaining quickly and also helps keep them engaged. For adult classes, there is an awesome diversity of instructors available for learning different skill sets in different ways. This ensures a community feel to the dojo with many different styles of teaching for many different styles of learning.
