The dedicated Aikido student can greatly benefit in three general areas: |
|
 |
Self Defense - Aikido is a highly effective form of self-defense. The power of Aikido lies in its ability to harness and redirect the force of an attacker, allowing the practitioner to execute powerful techniques without possessing great size or strength.
|
|
|
Self Improvement - Aikido training can increase self-confidence, mental focus, self-discipline, build balance and coordination, and reduce stress. These effects are potent, long lasting and can positively impact all aspects of the Aikido practitioner’s life.
|
|
|
Fitness - Aikido is an excellent activity for improving fitness. A dedicated Aikido practitioner can expect to significantly improve strength, speed, endurance, muscle tone and flexibility, all in a vigorous and dynamic exercise environment.
