Teodora – mother of Matei aged 5

We started training because I was looking for a combat activity near us to enroll my son in and I was unpleasantly surprised that everything I found was for 5+ or even 6+ years old. The only Dojo that accepted 3+ years old was yours, which made a great impression on me and from the very first training I realized how different Yanitsa Sensei’s approach is with the little ones.
From the very beginning, I noticed the different pedagogical approach to children and the ease with which the basic principles of Aikido are explained as a child's game. 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.
