The Hilliard Martial Arts Center provides youth martial arts programs in Aikido. Receiving safe instruction in martial arts can instill in children, among other things:
  • Confidence
  • Discipline
  • Courtesy
  • Self-awareness
By helping to instill these qualities, training will help to cultivate good character and focus, which will also help our youth excel in many other areas. We provide a safe and enjoyable atmosphere that encourages children to realize their potential.

Youth Aikido

The Hilliard Martial Arts Center, home to the Columbus Aikikai, offers a challenging and fun aikido program for children in grades ranging from first through eighth. We have two different classes available at the dojo: Aikido for Children and Advanced Aikido for Children. The classes are taught using demonstration, partner and group practice, and active games.

Rather than focusing on punching and kicking, aikido emphasizes movement, unbalancing, joint manipulation, and throws; all of which are used to control and subdue an attacker.

The philosophy behind the techniques of aikido is that one has the right to defend oneself, but also has the responsibility to avoid unnecessary injury to the attacker. Resolution of conflict, not domination of the opponent, is the ultimate goal.

Onegaishimasu! Please train with us!
