Have you been looking for an activity to share with your son or daughter?

Ages: 2nd grade - 8th grade
Cost: $40/family (with one parent attending)

Class info:
- The cost is less if at least one parent enrolls and attends with their child. You won't find offers like this very often!
- Classes will run for 1½ hours each.

- This course is a great introduction to Aikido. Don't be shy! All levels of fitness are encouraged and welcome.
- About Aikido: Aikido is self-defensive in nature and is sometimes referred to as the 'gentle' martial art. It teaches one how to deal with grabbing, punching, kicking, and aggression from others; not actually applying (and making one better at) kicking and punching. Over time, one will learn to sense aggression in others and develop a range of skills in diffusing aggression and conflict.
- About the instructor: Christ Gryparis has a black belt (Shodan) in Aikido and has been teaching martial arts classes for the past four years.
- For more information, contact Christ Gryparis or the church office at (847) 362-8155.
