Movements are natural and simple, their effectiveness is derived from timing and positioning rather than from physical strength and power. Thus Aikido is suited to everyone, young and old, men and women alike. It is a satisfying workout that unites the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects through concentrated action and attentiveness. Etiquette and a spirit of harmony are intrinsic to the art. With regular practice we notice increased stamina, flexibility, self confidence and a feeling of well being.
