I’d recommend Aikido to anyone wishing to improve their all round health, balance, confidence, well-being etc. and to meet some amazing people. It’s LIFE, it’s real and it friggin’ works! The ultimate benefit to me is — Whole well-being improvement: Flexibility, proprioception, co-ordination, body confidence, positive proactive environment and the list goes on. Nope! Only my mind takes me out if it’s cold/wet outside, BUT once I show up and train, I always (100%) feel awesome afterwards and grateful I didn’t allow my mind to take me out! The variety of moves, choices in how to surrender and direct anything away from me. It’s like a flow/art, which once you start practicing becomes easier and makes 100% Martial Sense!
