There are a ton of 'dojo's' in Seattle, but I am struggling to find one that is traditional Japanese and teaches kids. Ideally I want to start my boys (ages 4 and 7) with a very active and less meditative art from just because they need energy outlets. If they become disciplined in their art, I would probably move them into aikido when they get older. Eventually, I'd like them to be introduced the various forms of Japanese martial arts.
Any suggestions on where I can get them started? willing to separate them, but prefer a place that will teach both, even if at different times.
Thanks so much!
