Alex's PreSchool/Kindergarten group went to Shobu Aikido of Ohio to get a demonstration about the martial art of aikido. It is a more philosophical martial art designed to teach the participants to resolve conflicts rather than fight. It is not a competitive martial art like karate. The kids listened to an introduction by the sensei, Jay Weik, then watched him demonstrate some moves. They learned some different ways to breathe (note Alex practicing this in the middle of the picture) and some stances. Alex really enjoyed it. Who knows maybe Alex will be interested in learning aikido someday. Philosophically, it may be very good for him.
