The most valuable thing about Aikido training is that you learn to look at life differently. This process happens quite naturally, because Sensei Yanitsa is the personification of a wise child who passes on her experience to children in an extraordinary way.

Sensei Yanitsa’s approach to education is not only professional but also has great attention to the individual needs of each child. Aikido with Sensei Yanitsa not only improved my daughter's physical state but also helped her develop important social skills such as cooperation, patience, and self-discipline.

My daughter gained self-confidence, discipline and a great desire to communicate with her father (to his delight). She became more confident and determined, which filled me with pride. And I became a more patient and aware parent and person.

Yanitsa Sensei focuses us on complex topics such as 1. the roles of parents and children in the family; 2. courageous and categorical self-assertion along with respect and humility in front of experienced people and people of authority; 3. patience and attention to detail, striving for self-improvement.

After the first training session, we immediately knew that we had come to the right place. Yanitsa Sensei does not just show techniques, but builds children’s confidence, discipline and respect for others.

Yanitsa Sensei manages to charm and captivate the children as soon as they meet her… She manages to turn the kids’ potential into strengths despite their age and in the group, they build the necessary discipline and get used to the etiquette and rules of the Dojo.

Many thanks to Yanitsa Sensei for her big heart and patience! Aikido for us is no longer just an activity – it has become a way of life, part of our culture and, most of all, it has strengthened the connection between myself and my daughter.

The trainings are fun, stimulating, and a great way to spend quality time together. I recommend the trainings with Yanitsa Sensei at Tendokan Dojo for parents who want to strengthen the bond with their child and help them love learning new skills.

Sensei Yanitsa has an amazing approach to children – extremely patient, attentive and creative in the ways she makes workouts interesting and engaging. She manages to build a balance between discipline and fun - motivating children to learn and develop without losing the joy of the process itself.

Sensei Yanitsa knows how to inspire respect in children, and she is always full with a lot of love and attention to everyone who enters the dojo. Here at Tendokan dojo we found society, community and like-minded people and we are glad to be part of it.

Sensei Yanitsa has a sharp eye to discover kids’ potential and truly build on their strengths to let them bloom. My son’s experience proves that he is growing healthier, stronger both physically and emotionally and learns how to explore his own potential with time. I love his growing sense of ownership and healthy independence.

Thanks to the Queen-Of-The-Little-Ninjas Yanitsa Sensei!

I wish I was a child between 6 and 10 years old to participate in such an experience!
