THE RIVER

At Life Ki-do, the foundation of all we teach is the River ~ flowing with all of life's joys and challenges using them as opportunities to strengthen yourself both inside and out. In our martial arts & movement classes, we teach kids and adults alike how to find their River by connecting their 3 B’s: Body, Breath and Brain.

BODY

Proper body alignment provides the structure and fluidity to be both strong and calm.

BREATH

Breathing techniques combat stress and anxiety while feeling focused, relaxed, and present.

BRAIN

Focusing on the task at hand and coaching yourself to do your personal best and not give up.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“As a Mom (and also a pediatrician), I highly recommend this phenomenal program. Joyful, physically challenging, and enlightening. ”

— Mother of Power Ninja Student, Age 7
