My daughter and I started Aikido training at the Tendokan Dojo with Yanitsa Sensei almost a year ago. We chose the Aikids group to add a new activity for her. The location was also convenient for us as it’s so near our home. Sensei Yanitsa is the heart of this practice. She 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. Thanks to Sensei Yanitsa we learn values such as respect, patience and responsibility. I highly recommend!
