End of 2023 kids class

Today was our last class of 2023 at the Wednesday Noda club. Unfortunately due to flu season we had quite a few people who couldn`t attend. Nevertheless, a decent turn out.

We put the juniors and seniors class together, along with a few visitors from the neighbouring Kasukabe club. 

During the first 45 mins. we went through our basic warm-ups, then into some demonstration practice. We split up in to 4 groups, ages ranging from 3 to 12 years old, and the leader of each group watched over the training. Great cooperation and teamwork. We finished the keiko with some energetic jiyu-waza using up all the left over energy from this past year.

All worn out from our final training, next was game time... 

We made new groups and went through a tonne of different team challenges. Not only physical, but mental. Stamina, coordination, and concentration. Finished with aikido trivia and bingo for prizes.

A nice finish to another great year. More to come in 2024! Ganbarimashou!
