Aikido is a balanced method of training, which makes it beneficial for our health. We fail to use our body in the best possible way in everyday life and that has a direct impact on our health. The whole body is in motion with aikido, and we stretch our muscles and ligaments in the most natural way. It makes us flexible and supple.

It is not uncommon for parents and children to train together. Aikido practice has great worth and enriches everyone regardless of their age. No matter how old, anyone can find use in character building and in the better connection between body and spirit.
Children who practice aikido are calmer and more focused. Adults benefit most from their newfound harmony between body and spirit, and from spiritual evolution.
Aikido responds to everyone’s physical needs and helps the body and the spirit to complement each other.
