FAQ

Things to know about our youth programs.

What is Aiki Ninjutsu?

Aiki Ninjutsu is a martial art based on traditional Samurai and Ninja arts for the modern world. Our focus is on self-defense and self-protection and not sport based training. The art uses strikes, throws, joint locks, ground fighting, historical weapons training, modern weapon defenses and much more. These skills are taught in a way that utilizes your attacker’s energy against them instead of relying on speed and strength to escape your attacker. This makes it the perfect martial art for all ages and sizes.

How Many Classes Can I My Child Attend Each Week?

Our Aiki Ninjutsu Program allows students to come up to 5 days per week. We recommended a minimum of 2 classes per week. All classes are 45 minutes long.
