At Our AIKIDO dojo... Adult Students Only

BEACH  CITIES AIKIDO is a martial arts school unlike many others in that their  adult program is reserved exclusively for adults, you must be over 18  and we are strict about that policyt.  This martial arts school has  identified a growing demographic of adults who are specifically looking  for adult only martial arts programs.  These people want to be able to  completely and totally focus on themselves for just a few hours each  week – a place where they can get away from the overwhelming  responsibilities of work, home, and child raising for just a little  while. BCA provides just that.

At  this school, adults have the opportunity to socialize exclusively with  other adults, to de-stress, to physically reconnect with themselves, and  get centered psychologically.  In fact, it is not uncommon for parents  and couples to train Aikido together where they can reconnect with each  other, as adults, and step outside their non-stop roles of Mom and Dad.   The philosophically non-violent martial art of Aikido also serves as a  great new activity for recent empty nesters or divorcees who may be  struggling to some extent with their identity and newfound position in  the world.  

Furthermore,  we have heard multiple stories about how awkward and disappointing it  was for adults to sometimes be stuck in a training exercise against a  child half your size.  We’ve also heard that some adults found  themselves feeling more like a chaperone than a tuition-paying student  who is there to train martial arts. Once again, there is nothing wrong  with these kinds of programs.  In fact, they are wonderful for children.

It  is my goal at Beach Cities Aikido that you will learn a new a new  skill, get back and stay in shape, and train how to defend yourself....
