Kids’ Martial Arts

At KZA, believe that the martial arts help kids grow up happy, healthy, and well-balanced. There's so much more to a martial art like aikido than technique!

Here are just a few reasons why our aikido programs are an ideal choice for kids of all ages:

• Instruction: Classes are a taught by KZA’s head instructor Josh Paul Sensei, a fifth-degree black belt with more than 20 year’s teaching experience. 

• Non-Competitive: Aikido emphasizes cooperation rather than competition, which helps children build confidence and self-esteem.

• Physical Fitness: Aikido involves movement, stretching, and coordination, which improves a child's fitness, balance, and flexibility.

• Focus and Discipline: Through practicing aikido techniques and following instructions in class, children develop better focus, discipline, and respect for others.

• Conflict Resolution: Aikido teaches children how to resolve conflicts peacefully and defuse potentially challenging situations without resorting to aggression.
