River of Life Martial Arts Summer Day Camp 2012 Information!
River of Life Martial Arts Summer Day Camp is the perfect way for your child to spend time while school is out for the summer! We’ll be keeping the children active during this otherwise lazy time of year. They'll stay in great shape and have fun while they improve their focus, increase respect for others, and hone teamwork skills, all while learning the martial art of Aikido!
Aikido is a Japanese self-defense art that combines powerful movements with ancient samurai philosophy of chivalry. The word 'Aikido' literally means 'the way of harmonizing with energy.' It teaches students to be able to defend themselves while also protecting their attacker from injury. The ultimate aim is not only to be able to resolve external conflict, but also to find a deep calm and confident center within.
Along with regular martial arts classes, instructors teach themed classes, such as padded weapons and kicking technique as well as self-defense skills, such as bully prevention and “stranger danger.”
We hope you'll join us for an exciting July and August 2012 at martial arts day camp!
