Aikido Snow Day (Thursday Feb 24)

We will not try to have classes today at Aikido Kids.  There is only about an inch of snow in North Redmond, but schools are closed, and I hear that higher elevations got more.   Unfortunately, it looks like temps will stay near freezing, and snow is forecasted for later this afternoon.      Hopefully the weather and roads will improve by tomorrow.    Stay safe and warm, and enjoy the snow holiday!

Yes, we're open (wed Feb 23)

Roads were bare and wet in Redmond.   Come to class if your road conditions permit!

MyGym: Coming soon to AikidoKids!

We are working on an arrangement with the Bellevue MyGym to teach classes at AikidoKids!   Hope to have more details for you soon!

Snow day - Wednesday, Nov 24th 2010

So sorry to have to cancel again!   Still so cold, and the surface streets are very icy.   Stay safe!

Everyone have a happy Thanksgiving, and I'll see you again next week!

Aikido Kids Snow Day - Thursday 11/23/10

Sorry to have to be closed today.    Hopefully it will warm up tomorrow!   Check back around 1 or 2pm tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving

Gratitude is an important part of the art of Aikido.   We begin and end each class with a bow of gratitude.   We are grateful for the classroom, the teacher, our fellow classmates, and O'Sensei's gift of Aikido.   Each time we finish practicing a skill, we stop and say "Thank you very much" to our practice partner.   

Thanksgiving and Christmas is a wonderful time of year to emphasize how many wonderful things we have in our lives, and to practice thankfulness with our children.   Please have a safe and wonderful holiday this week.

We will be open for classes on Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving.    In case of bad weather, please check this blog, my Facebook page, the Aikido Kids Facebook page, or your email for a notice about weather-related closures.
