Children's classes are an important part of the curriculun of all schools of Aikido Seikikai. Even Kurita Sensei teaches children not only in his own dojo but also at the American School in Tokyo.

In harmony with the classes taught by Kurita Sensei in Japan, the children's classes are available in all schools of Aikido Seikikai outside of Japan. These classes are usually given by the Chief Instructor of each dojo. The teaching of children is considered too important to be left in the hands of someone untrained.

The children are taught techniques of self defense in all of the Seikikai dojos however, the emphasis is not on combat. The children (like the adults) learn to develop positive abilities related to dealing with other people and to develop and exercise self control. Great emphasis is place on respect for others, for parents and for the instructors.
