Hi,

I happened across this forum and was debating whether or not I still qualified as a "young person" and shortly after deciding that if I had to ask the answer was probably "no", but before disappearing, I noticed your post.

We are based in the centre of Bristol right next to Templemeads train station and have classes for children on Saturday mornings; (www.templegatedojo.org.uk).

It might be too far but figured I would mention it whilst I'm here and try to be useful.

We have a contact form via our website if you've any queries or feel free to PM me on here.

Cheers
("Young") Rich

I don't know whether this will be of any use to you, as we are probably too far away, but i train at an aikido club in weston-super-mare. We teach children from the age of 5 upwards on Saturday mornings.

Hi
Yes Aikido would be perfect........
 
I have found 3 clubs which i think are close too you on our map serach, It's best to phone them as maybe they have not advertised that they teach children.
 
http://www.bab.org.uk/googlemap_api/map.asp
 
 
But, myself I will not teach Aikido to Children under the age of 14. As I am also a Judo Coach I would recommend that you first try Judo, With a child that is already a sports player they will find it quite easy to move to Judo then at a suitable age they can try Aikido, Judo will teach them breakfalls, and how to break the balance and throw where as the other two you suggested teach them to punch.

My apologies if this post is off topic, but I need help.

I live in Stroud in Gloucestershire and have been seeking Aikido instruction for my 8 year old son. He has always shown interest and has been watching videos of O-Sensei & others sinse he was 4 or 5. I enquired of my local aikikai (Gloucester) several years ago and was told we must wait until he was at least 7. Now I have asked again and was told there is no programme for children and that to study/practice there he must be 16. The nearest dojo that advertises teaching children (that I have found on this site) is about 1:30 drive away in Salisbury or in Oxford.

Can anyone recommend a course of study that will benefit an eight year old that will lend itself into Aikido in the future (Judo, TaiKwonDo, Karate)? I was hoping that he would learn the balance, grounding, discipline, language and basic skill, at an early age. He is an avid ice hockey player (Swindon) and something of an expert on ice skates. I have thought that Aikido would be perfect for his development.

Can anyone make any suggestions?

With many thanks in advance,
CBurr]]> Wed, 15 Sep 2010 22:40:37 +0000 http://www.bab.org.uk/forum/new-forum_topic120_post486.html#486 Young People : New Forum http://www.bab.org.uk/forum/new-forum_topic120_post456.html#456 Author: Babycakes101

Hey Ad
 
Well for us down here, travelling to London for a event would be too far, are parents wouldn't take us all just for one day. Maybe there should be a few events in different areas too see how it works. However the instructors would need to know how many young people would be interested first.
 
Maybe if you asked a friend who trainned with you what they think, and maybe asked them to reply on here, we could get a better idea of how many would be interested.

Hi

A childrens course would be a really nice idea, but devon is a long way from london, I suppose you are from there as you mentioned devon clubs. how about something in London. If you look on the BAB Club search there seems to loads of clubs with young people and children.

Who would help us sort this out. Help Please from club instructors.]]> Wed, 05 May 2010 20:51:08 +0000 http://www.bab.org.uk/forum/events-for-young-people_topic122_post443.html#443
