Thanks, Edward,
We do this this game in sikko. We then call it sharks and dolphins with the sharks trying to get the dolphins as they " swim" across the mat. We do it with all students but the kids always love it when the Sensei tries to grab them. Sounds fun.
How young does your dojo start Children?
Anything else?

Hello Melissa,
Regarding the age, we deal with it case by case as we have no children classes, just beginners classes which mostly are under 15 years old. Usually 6-7 years old is the minimum, but there is one exception of one Japanese woman who comes to class with two 4-5 years old sons. But I think they are too young to learn anything useful.
As Louis mentioned, children love rolling on the mats so we give them a lot of Ukemi and Suwari KokyuHo....
Cheers,
Edward
