This is a special FREE online class presented by KidPass Live Stage (https://kidp.as/live). KidPass Live Stage is a free live stream series that is open to the community and showcases many of the incredible classes and instructors on KidPass.
We start off formally with a martial arts bow and saying "please" in Japanese - "Onegai shimasu."
We then go through our martial arts warm-ups, including stretches and animal movements.
After that, we choose from learning a specific Aikido martial arts technique, a super fun Aikido game, or sometimes even "pretend sword" practice. But we ALWAYS keep in mind kindness and compassion. Aikido is designed to protect not only us but our training partner, as well. This is why it is often referred to as "The Art of Peace" and sometimes written with the Japanese letter for "Love."
Note that as a KidPass Live Stage performance, this class and your participation may be posted on KidPass social media. Since it is formatted for a large audience, there will be limited instructor interaction. If you enjoy the class, please visit the instructor's KidPass page where you can find other class offerings and formats including small-group, interactive classes.

Also, we have a Valentine's gift for your child...
They need to wear clothes that are comfortable. If they can be on a carpet, rather than a hard floor, they might be more comfortable. If not, no problem. If they have a martial arts uniform, they of course are welcome to wear it. IFFF they have a "bokken" (wooden sword) or toy sword, they should have it ready IN CASE we use it. If they don't have one and we decide to do sword practice, no worries. They can use a wooden spoon from the kitchen, or simply pretend. If you'd like to purchase either a uniform or wooden sword before the class, just text or call us at 424-209-2083 and we'll be happy to send you one.
