The Tax Deduction and I are both afflicted with A.D.D. Over the years I have learned to deal with it, compensate for it and other tricks to overcome its effects. At nearly sixteen years old, my son has not learned these tricks to this degree yet.
While binge watching the Walking Dead he took notice of Morgan and his skills with Aikido. He started watching videos, then started reading about it. Before I knew it my kid was all over the back lawn making these moves. The Wife and I decided that maybe he was ready to start studying in earnest.
At his first lesson his sensei showed him some amazing things he could do right away. Harnessing the power of the mind, as it were, which for an A.D.D. teenager is no small trick. Seeing his love of studying this new to him martial art we decided to sign on.
Now, a few months down the road we are seeing tremendous benefits for him, and improvements. He also gives credit to Aikido for helping him through those last few hard weeks of 10th grade.
The instructors are amazing, and patient, and see his potential. They give a first class for free, so what is your excuse for not trying?Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Greg H.Portland, OR203432Sep 14, 2011First to Review
Interested in learning a martial art you can practice for life? The Oregon Ki society is an excellent place to study and practice the defensive art of Aikido. My son has been a student for the past three years, and has benefited from the discipline and focus that the instructors provide. Adult classes are Tuesday and Thursday nights...kid classes are on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings.

Calm defense against what life brings you. My children practice and thrive at Aikido. No, you're not charged a big fee for a belt. No, the instructors are not making their wages at teaching, rather they believe in the art. Once you gain an understanding of the basic exercises life begins to make sense. Great place for kids to learn.
