Periodically, we have a special class, where parents have the opportunity to experience first hand what their children work so hard at every week. Kids invite parents and relatives to join them and try a class with them. Under the kids’ guidance, parents get a new perspective and respect for the hard work their kids put into their favorite activity – Aikido!
We hope you can make it!
