Anna studies a movement

I find aikido quite fun. I've only been going for a few weeks and I already love it!! I think it's great for young and young at heart or for anybody who likes fun, exercising, self defence, healthy activities. I was begging my mom for a long time to get me into something like this, when she told me about it I jumped at the chance, and when I started I was glad my mom got me into this.

Aikido is a great opportunity for people of all ages to have fun and learn at the same time. Some of it's tough, but the instructors are really helpful and eventually you learn. It's a really cheerful place and when you are in Aikido, you are always surrounded by kind people. The teachers are also nice they help you when you need it, and are just really nice.

In the kids classes there are also fun games to play sometimes, like my favourite: the stick game and many more. You learn fun rolls, throws and hand exercises. The hand exercises I practise in school because I usually get bored. Another good thing is that girl and boy kids are partners, instead of all girls being together and all boys.

I think every sensei has their special feature; they're nice, funny and helpful. Overall I think Aikido is great and a lot of fun.
