The dojo(training studio or school) has a great instructor and people to train with. They are very serious about training and also making it fun. Aikido is not as much well-known martial arts as others, but I can tell that that is a great martial arts which anybody can start. I wasn’t sure that I, who was a woman in late 30’s could do much, but I am grateful now that I started. It can be self-defense and good source of building confidence in mind.
