A Family-Friendly Training Method for All Ages.

I LOVE TEACHING KIDS. THEY OFFER SO MUCH TO LEARN FROM THEM.

TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO GUIDE YOUNG MINDS INTO THEIR OWN POWER AND TO SEE THEIR
FACES LIT UP AS THEY REALIZE -"I CAN DO THIS!" - AS A PARENT AND TEACHER, THIS
EXPERIENCE IS HUMBLING AND PROFOUND.

"Bo has been a great asset to our club, and we will miss him when he leaves."

"I have been training with Bo for a couple of years at the Northwest Michigan
Aikido Club in Traverse City, Michigan. He is one of the best instructors I have
trained with. He has a deep knowledge of Aikido and his techniques are
effective. He is able to demonstrate and teach fundamentals of Aikido in clear
and understandable terms, to students of all levels. My understanding of Aikido
has significantly improved under his tutelage.




I have also assisted Bo with some of his kids classes. He has that unique talent
of being able to engage kids and work with them on their level. Keeping 8-10
year olds focused for a two hour aikido class is not something for the timid to
attempt, and Bo is good at it."

Dan Kaiser

"Bo is the Best!"

"The positive impact that Bo has had with our students takes your breath away.
Some of our students have significant challenges with trust, boundaries,
confidence, etc. Bo is able to help them see things in a different way. His
teachings provide life-long tools that students can draw from as they face
obstacles. Bo truly is a gift in our community!"

DEBBIE CAPERTON - SOS Learning Lab, LLC

"Bo has had a great impact on the students at the Northern Michigan Partnership.
I highly recommend him. He draws respect from his students and captivates their
interest while at the same time maintaining high expectations."

CHRIS DAVIS - TCAPS

"My son took a short course with Bo and didn't want it to end. This was his
first introduction to body mind awareness, which I think is a vital skill in
this day of overstimulation. Although my son hasn't quite mastered the
meditation portion, I appreciate the applicable skills Bo taught as well as the
blast the kids had rolling and jumping!"

MELISSA - Parent

"Passionate & Dedicated Instructor"

"I can't say enough about how passionate Bo is about his trade and how talented
he is in sharing his skills with others. He is very hard working, dedicated, and
reliable. It has been a pleasure working with him and seeing the amazing growth
in each of the children he has trained."

Rose Marie Zivkovich - Director, Northern Michigan Partnership/TCAPS

"Bo has been so great for my two boys. The skills and lessons were so well
thought out and executed but beyond that Bo is a wonderful calm presence. It is
often hard to find good male role models today but Bo has been that for my
boys."

ALL INCLUSIVE. ADAPTIVE. FUN.

(YET CHALLENGING)

The Grasshoppers Club is home to a family-friendly, non-traditional, and
exploratory Martial Arts practice. It includes a physical practice, an online
private community open to all, and an expanding library of available materials
(articles, video lessons, etc). The Grasshoppers Club also offers online
individual/group live lessons by appointment AND you can also choose to
implement our practice at your own location (click here for inquiring).




Our practice involves the entire family. Think of it as a village setting, where
we all help each other, explore and play together.

The Grasshoppers Club's core principles are mutual respect, critical thinking,
collaboration, and learning through playful exploration. Our practice is based
on adaptive movement building blocks in order to support everyone's personal
development and growth.

We welcome everyone to join in, play, and practice!

FUNCTIONAL, NO-NONSENSE APPROACH

FOCUSED ON DEVELOPMENT

EXPLORATORY & EMPOWERING

STRATEGIC & COLLABORATIVE


LEARN BY PLAYING.

It has been long established already that "learn by playing" is a part of
natural development amongst all mammals. Humans included :)



It is worth looking at what exactly inside the "playing" brings out the learning
- and WHY should you join us!


WHAT MAKES GRASSHOPPERS UNIQUE:




WE FOCUS ON BEING HUMAN


GRASSHOPPERS BENEFITS: KIDS

Younglings will engage Movement through a variety of situational games, focused
on development aspects such as Balance, Agility, Self-Control, Critical
Thinking, and more.




GRASSHOPPERS BENEFITS: YOUTH

Our Youth explore growth in every aspect, through the use of Movement and
Martial Arts Concepts intertwining Physical Development / Endurance, Strength,
Speed, Adaptability; Mental & Emotional Wellbeing / Flexibility, Strategy,
Collaboration, Empowerment, and more.




GRASSHOPPERS BENEFITS: ADULTS

As an Adult, the Grasshopper practice taps into your lifelong skills and
knowledge, focusing on partner work, mutual support and guidance,
physical/mental/emotional engagement and balance, and more.




GRASSHOPPERS BENEFITS: FAMILY

Practicing as a Family, together, creates a fluid bridge between generations and
even cultures. This mix-age approach is akin to the roots of our social
coexistence in a VILLAGE setting where skill and knowledge is organically
transferred from one member of the group to another. And it is FUN!

SKILL BUILDING

New and/or improving skills is a result of our practice, not a goal. This way we
emphasize the process itself. In other words, we "focus on the journey more than
the destination."

EMPOWERING

Empowerment is a function of self-trust. Self-trust is a function of affirmed
AND confirmed success. Our practice uses a subtle way to setup small success
milestones, like building blocks of self-confidence. Empowerment is a result of
this process, AND we encourage its expression.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Set up a "problem" and explore possibilities. Problem-solving in martial arts
takes a situational shape. In other words, timed and well crafted challenges
that allow the students to figure out the next move, the next step, and the
consequences arising from those choices. Just like playing.

COLLABORATIVE

We encourage partner work, and keep competitiveness on the "back burner." This
way, when we partner (and we partner a LOT), each partner is both a student and
a helper. The goal of partner work is like a "double edge sword" - one edge is
learning, the other edge is helping. It is a very friendly "sword."
