In this program we teach your child effective and efficient martial arts skills. Additionally, they are learning the traditional and unique martial arts values and qualities that are often times missing in today’s society, and in many of the contemporary martial arts. Our Little Warrior Program is the precursor to our Mighty Warrior program, and prepares our youngest students to progress forward once they reach seven years of age.

"I did the “Aiki Fitness Sessions” in this academy for few months and I really enjoyed my training sessions. I’m very happy and satisfied with the training programs the professional fitness training coach “Matt” gave me. Every session was different and challenging. I could see the results in the first month! The Academy also has a very safe environment and all the professional coaches are so polite and friendly. It’s a great choice for the families to bring their children to train. Highly recommended! Thanks West Coast Aikido for giving me a great experience!"

"I’d like to say Thanks To ALL that have helped Levi get to where he is today. In the past he had doubts about getting up in front of the class when asked to do his Kata. But this last session he did it not Once but Twice and that to me means that his confidence is growing. As a result of the hard work from himself and the amazing people at West Coast Aikido Martial Arts Keep up the hard work everyone and Thanks Again."

"My son has been doing aikido for 5 years with the past 12 months being at West Coast Aikido. In the time he has been at West Coast Aikido he has improved immensely and way beyond what he did at the other aikido school.West Coast Aikido is a lot more structured yet makes it fun for the kids. I have found that my son’s confidence levels have improved greatly. The family focused atmosphere is also what I find great about West Coast Aikido. I would recommend West Coast Aikido for sure to anyone with children."

Online Specials - Get Started Now!In addition to instilling your child with confidence and effective anti-bullying techniques, we also focus on teaching your child important life skills by incorporating the Excellent Kids Merit Badge System into our curriculum. Each month we concentrate on a specific, easily defined, value and ask the kids to demonstrate these while they’re away from the Dojo, at home or at school. Based upon parents’ feedback we then award the deserving student with a Merit Badge that they can proudly display on their Uniform. We’ve found that this has been a powerful tool and a great incentive to help our younger students” take their Aikido home with them” and strive to be their best on and off the mats.
