Our boys have been training for many years at Island Aikido and on Sunday there was an aikido seminar and going away party for Owen and Kayla (who are leaving for college). 
We get asked sometimes why we would have the boys in marial arts…honestly, they can punch, kick and fight with the best of them already.  Aikido, however, isn’t about hurting your opponent, it’s about being able to protect yourself and use the other person’s energy to bring them down.  They are learning so many life lessons and discipline through their training and it’s been fun to watch them progress through the years.  Erin has been going to the dojo since she was 3 days old and she LOVES being there.  It’s just a challenge trying to keep her off the mats, she wants to train, too!
