In the ever-adventurous land of Utah, nestled between the tall, towering mountains and the vast, mystical deserts, exists a special breed of kids. These aren't your average, everyday kids. No, no, no, they're Utah's Aikido Kids, or as they like to call themselves, "The Aiki-Squad." The Aiki-Squad is lead by their quirky and cool imaginary friend, "Sensei Whiskers," a red panda with a black belt who mysteriously appeared one day during a high flying tumble roll. Sensei Whiskers, with his adorable round eyes and fluffy tail, is the real deal. He's the jolliest Aikido expert this side of the Mississippi River and probably the only one who loves cookies more than training! When they aren't busy exploring the vast terrains of Utah, from the snowy peaks of the Wasatch range to the arid landscapes of the Moab desert, these Aiki-Kids are practicing the art of Aikido. They tumble and roll, grapple and pin, all under the watchful eyes of their instructors and the ever-encouraging Sensei Whiskers. The Aiki-Squad isn't just about Aikido. They're about friendship, teamwork, and, of course, laughter. It's common to hear their hearty laughter echoing through the dojo, often caused by Sensei Whiskers' obsession with ticklish tumble rolls or his clumsy attempts at cookie-juggling. So, if you're ever in the magical state of Utah and you see a red panda doing a tumble roll while munching on a cookie, don't be alarmed. You've just had a lucky encounter with Sensei Whiskers and his Aiki-Squad, the funniest, friendliest, and most flip-tastic Aikido kids around!
