Please note that our server died and took out the database-driven pages. We are in the process of posting rescued content. and the Curriculum and Games listings are now up again. We hope to have the other list pages (Instructors and Equipment) up soon, and then the databases rebuilt. This site is not a commercial enterprise, and we've been busy simply paying rent.

AikidoKids.com, in conjunction with Aiki-Extensions.org, has launched a Google Group called Aikido Kids to facilitate conversations between those of us who teach Aikido to children and teens. If you'd like to participate, head on over to the group home page, and request an invitation to join. You'll need to sign in to Google first, (accounts are free if you don't already have one). You'll then be asked to tell us where you teach, what style of Aikido you practice, and who your teachers have been (there are no wrong answers to any of these questions, we just want to know who everyone is) so we can process your request to join the group.
