Children grow stronger and more coordinated through regular training. They learn how to handle a bokken (wooden sword) and jo (short staff) in a precise and fluid manner. These improvements in coordination and dexterity will stay with them for life and give them advantages in other physical disciplines.
In Aikido, children learn by first seeing a technique, which often involves very complex body mechanics, and then attempting to replicate the technique on their own. We find that with practice, kids make tremendous improvements in their ability to “see” and then “do.” Eventually, they are able to absorb and replicate complex movements after only seeing them once or twice, a skill which undoubtedly gives them an edge in other disciplines or sports.
