Recruiting little tykes from ages 3 to 9 years old, the aikiForest dojo is a martial art school fully dedicated to children in Singapore. Through their creatively designed teaching materials, their instructors help students to appreciate Aikido, a Japanese self defence martial art that promotes non-violence and harmony. Aikido is a great way to channel a child’s excessive energies into self-defence moves while instilling a sense of discipline. aikiForest's curriculum and pedagogy is well-developed, fun and age appropriate so that learning martial arts won't seem like a gruelling bootcamp to the little ones. Their experienced instructors focus on not just the physical aspect but also on cultivating resilience in the students. Classes are also kept small with instructor-to-student ratio of 1:5. aikiForest is also an affiliate of Aikido Shinju-kai, officially recognised by the Aikido World Headquarters.

“My students look forward to the weekly aikido lesson. The Aikido teachers give clear instructions and my students are able to follow and carry them out.  Aikido has taught my students to be more alert. They also have better memory recall now.” - Fiddah Saini, teacher of child care centre at Pasir Ris
