I am interested in applying Aikido to challenged high school students.

I studied with Sensei Calvin Tabata 37 years ago in Portland, Oregon. I have continued application of the principles in my daily life. I attended various seminars with Sensei Koichi Tohei, Rod Kobayashi and Sozuki . I instructed children and adult classes in Colombia, South America, Mexico and California in the 80's. I have infrequently visited dojos in Canada and various states in the past.

Currently I wish to apply Aikido to problem children in education.

Anyone who has experience or is currently doing something in this area I would be interested in communication.

Thankyou

Bert Baker

I would think the only way to find out is to do it.... if you think you have the ability, patience and know how ...... just do it, but be prepared to find the pittfalls along the way and don't give in.... you'll learn by learning through your own experiences and making adjustments on the way.... thats the only advice I can give
best of luck!
