Our Kids Aikido program provides a positive, supportive environment where children learn to observe, listen, focus and work with others.
Confidence
We aim for you to grasp both the ‘why and how’ in your training. Understanding the ‘why’ behind a technique develops a more instinctive reflex and becomes a natural part of you, instead of just memorizing it.
We are dedicated to guiding and supporting you every step of the way, resulting in profound changes that will enrich every facet of your life.

I love the classes and life lessons here. My 5 and 7 year olds are in the youth classes. The core philosophy behind Aikido as I understand it is to blend energy and use the momentum
that is given to you. We talk a lot in our home about how these concepts relate to so many parts of daily life.The instructors for the kids class are amazing. They are kind, fun and
outgoing. All while they work on teaching the physical movements, respect, confidence and self defense. The kids are waiting at the car to go on Aikido days!
★★★★★
My son is nine and after trying a few different martial art styles and studios he decided to go with North Shore Aikido. The studio is in a great location and very clean. The sensei are
very good at explaining what to do and how these techniques could and would be applied in real life. They are all very proactive in walking around making corrections and helping the students
out individually. They also have older students with higher belts helping out in class. It is great to see a studio that is taking the time to teach students the meaning of discipline, purpose,
and control in a positive environment.
★★★★★
This dojo is everything that you want for your kids. A kind but firm staff of sempai who genuinely want them to succeed as human beings first and aikido students as a very close second.
I am constantly impressed that every child I witness is given challenges just within reach so that they can feel a real sense of accomplishment for succeeding. Nothing is handed to them
nor made unattainable.
★★★★★
My children have been in the youth class for almost a year. It has been satisfying to see their skills and confidence grow. Aikido is a great way for them to move their bodies and
learn self-defense with big smiles on their faces. One of the things I appreciate most about North Shore Aikido is how the older students and adults will assist in the youth classes.
This mentorship encourages young students to continue in their training and promotes a family atmosphere. Senpais Stu and Tal do a great job with the little kids.
★★★★★
My kids have been taking classes here for the past two years and love it! The classes are challenging in a safe and supportive environment. The teachers are firm but also very caring and not authoritarian. Our kids have developed a greater sense of self and grown in confidence and courage since starting. We're so grateful to have found this studio, thank you!!
★★★★★
North Shore Aikido is a great and safe place for my kids, aside from self defense skills, they learn discipline and awareness while having fun.
★★★★★
Excellent instruction from Sensei Brooks - Passionate about Aikido and sharing his 42 years of experience. Outstanding instruction for a strong body, strong mind, strong character. Kids classes are so wonderful. Instructors teach life skills that are priceless to any child! This dojo is a special group of people that is caring and kind, who work together to be the best each can be.
★★★★★
Scottsdale Aikido and their instructors are always supportive and help build their students’ knowledge at their own pace. My son has been going for 2 years now and has made great progress in a lot of areas in the dojo and outside as well from the focus he’s gained on the mat. Highly recommended for any age to start.
★★★★★
I really appreciate Aikido Dojo Sen Sai for allowing my cousin and I watch a session and get familiar with Dojo and style of teaching that is happening with North Shore Aikido. One aspect of the teaching strikes me the most is how serious and fun sessions are. Mid and Advanced Students help entry level students. Dojo is very welcoming and a lot of techniques make emphasis on precision and detail. I would recommend anyone who would like to improve their well being and different aspects of their lives.
★★★★★
