Chibi

Students up to the age of 8 years. Two 30 minute classes each week are available during school term time

These students follow a specially designed syllabus comprising 7 grades where the emphasis is on balance, co-ordination, confidence and working together rather than specific aikido techniques

Two 1 hour classes each week are available during term time

These students follow a specially designed syllabus comprising 10 grades. The highest grade in this system is equal to the adult 6th Kyu rank

A full range of aikido techniques are covered plus some basic weapons exercises. In addition we encourage students to learn the Japanese terminology and to think a little more deeply about aspects of aikido like history, safety and appropriate use of what they are learning.
Within this group we foster awareness, confidence, teamwork and leadership

Adults

The lowest age to enter this group is 12 years though some juniors may delay entering adult classes if they are physically small or lacking in confidence.

There are a range of classes available for this group and classes continue through the school holidays.

This group follow the adult syllabus of the Institute of Aikido New Zealand which provides for 6 Kyu grade ranks in the lead up to black belt.

 

Dedicated training can then lead to progress through the Dan grade ranks.
