🥷 What's one of the key skills you need to be a good Little Samurai Sensei? Problem solving! 🥷

Four of our Little Samurai Senseis traded teaching for a stint at Xscape Rooms today. Can their problem-solving skills get them out before time runs out?

Great seeing everyone at the 'My Time My Life' Expo on Saturday!

Thanks to all who stopped by the Aikido Nelson stall at Founders Heritage Park to check out our demo. It was awesome connecting with local families and sharing practical safety skills for our tamariki.

The Last of Stedfast!
🙀 When the Little Samurai found out Stedfast won't be teaching on Mondays anymore, they took matters into their own hands and didn't let him leave without a fight (and a huge pile-on). We're going to miss you on Mondays, Stedfast! ❤️

Luckily, Anna D. is stepping up to take the reins, so our Little Samurai won't miss a single beat—or a single class. 😻
