Free Practice for Children
July 22nd, 2011 Report
One to two times every week, underprivileged children in Izmir come to my dojo to attend aikido classes and to be helpful to their parents, I teach these children’s classes at no charge. These special practice times have become a favorite activity for these children who seem to enjoy immensely their weekly visits at the dojo.
